You can create Custom Layouts to view your data throughout SI's various interfaces. Custom layouts are specific to each interface where they are created.

For example, create a custom layout in the Product Explorer interface. That custom layout cannot be used in Project Editor, as there are different fields in the Project Editor interface.

The instructions in this article are for using custom layouts in Product Explorer.

The easiest way to create a custom layout is to rearrange and resize the columns in an existing layout and then click the Save As button in the Custom Layouts section of the ribbon.

This will open the following interface, where you can name your custom layout, add or remove columns, and choose the order and even the width of the columns.

You can use the Sorting tab to set a particular sort order for columns.

If you want to group by any columns, you can use the Group and Ungroup buttons to set this.

When a grouping has been set, your layout will default to this grouping.

Once you save your custom layout, you can apply it anytime.

There is an option to share a custom layout with all users.

There is an additional option to apply a custom filter to any custom layout created within Project Editor.

Click the Define button to set a filter.

This will open the following interface, where you can define your filter. There are tabs along the side for various filters: Manufacturer, Category, etc.

There is a Project setting to determine if a selected layout will persist for every project.

You can edit your custom layouts via Custom Layouts > Manage.

This opens a dialog where you can add, edit, and delete custom layouts.
