Grid Layout Dialog

In many tables in PMWEB users can create one or more custom table layouts, save them, and quickly and easily switch between them. Some of the layout customization can be done directly in the table but some of them - in the Options section - can only be done using this dialog. This dialog is opened automatically when you save a new table layout or edit an existing one. See Tables for additional information.
