Available parameters for columns are listed below.
Width¶
A column width in percent or pixels. Empty means auto-width.
Note
It's recommended to have one column without width specified.
Link¶
If checked, then a field value will be displayed as a link pointing to the detail view of the record. Usually, it is used for Name fields.
Not Sortable¶
Disables the ability to sort the column.
Align¶
Align the column to the left or to the right.
Detail¶
The main layout for the detail and edit views. It defines panels, rows and cells. Cells contain fields.
The row can contain 1, 2, 3 or 4 cells. To add a row with single cell, you need to add a new row and click on a minus sign on any cell.
Edit panel parameters by clicking a pencil icon on the panel. It's possible to specify a label, color (style), conditions making a panel visible, group panels in tabs (as of v7.2).
To enable detail view tabs, you need to check the Tab-break for panels. Enable it for panels you want to be first in a tab. All following panels will be in the same tab till the next closest tab-break panel. Specify a Tab Label for tab-break panels.
Note
The Hidden panel parameter is not fully compatible with tabs. It's not recommended to have both tab-breaks and hidden panels on the same layout.

Different layouts for teams & portals¶
Layout Sets provide the ability to have different layouts for teams & portals.
An admin can create a Layout Set record where they will define specific layouts that will differ from standard ones (which are defined in the Entity Manager). Layout sets are available at Administration > Layout Sets.
A Team and Portal have the Layout Set link fields.
For internal users (regular & admin), a Layout Set is applied through the Default Team (User > Default Team > Layout Set). The Team should have the Layout Set specified. That team should be set as a Default Team for the User.
For portal users, the Layout Set is applied through the Portal record.
A Layout Set can also be specified for a specific User in the Layout Set field. Only regular and admin users have this field available.
Note
You need to clear cache (Administration > Clear Cache) after configuring layout sets.
Custom list layouts¶
As of v8.0.
An admin can create custom list layouts. These layouts can then be selected for specific relationship panels (at Administration > Entity Manager > {Entity Type} > Relationships).
