Layouts
Layouts can be used to design the details screen of records and from release 2026-7 on also the search screen of a class. For every class in your blueprint, you can define one or more layouts.
Details screen layouts
In the detail screens of a record by default all relevant fields of the class are listed in the order of creation.
You can add details layouts to the blueprint in order to:
- change the order of the fields,
- cluster the fields in sections,
- show data from connected tables, or
- modify other properties.
- change how and which action buttons are shown at the top button bar.
A details layout consists of sections. Read more about sections.
How to use details layouts?
- If a class has one single layout this layout is used in all cases where details of a record of this class are displayed.
- If a class has more than one layout, you can use specific layouts for specific situations, like an insert-only situation or a specific task. We are still researching how this can be specified. Please contact CrossmarX if you want to use this option.
- The details of a record from a connected table can be opened in a modal window with a specific layout. Steps:
1: define this layout optimized for a modal size.
2: set this layout in the section with the connected table (property 'Row modal layout').
Visual editor for details layout
You can try our new visual drag and drop editor to design your layouts. At the moment you can use it to create, order and align sections. In the near future you will also be able to add and position fields in the same interface as well as set a variety of properties.
Search screen layouts
In the search screen of a class by default all relevant and permitted actions are shown at the top of the results table.
You can add search layouts to the blueprint in order to:
- change what actions are shown at the top of the results table.
- add a header and footer to the search screen.
How to use search layouts?
A search layout will be used for the search screen of a class only if it is marked as default.
