Custom-Layout Datasheets

A custom-layout datasheet is a form-based datasheet whose layout can be configured via GE Digital APM. Unlike standard datasheets, custom-layout datasheets provide more flexibility in the layout of fields. For example, they can contain grouped fields, fields that appear side-by-side, and so on.

The following image shows a custom-layout datasheet that is configured in the baseline ASI module for the Maintenance Item family.

When you create a custom-layout datasheet, you will need to select a Security Group. Only members of that Security Group will be able to modify the layout of the datasheet via GE Digital APM.

Note: All users with the appropriate family-level security privileges will be able to modify field values via the datasheet even if they cannot modify the layout of the datasheet itself.

Note that beyond changing the ID, caption, description, default status, and default field order, which is based on the field sequence order, you cannot modify a custom-layout datasheet via the Configuration Manager. The layout of the datasheet must be configured via GE Digital APM.
