Using Data Entry Grids and Forms : Working with Themes and Filter Groups : Adding a Data Grid Layout Theme

Adding a Data Grid Layout Theme
A layout theme is a group of fields in a grid layout. Adding a new Layouts theme allows you to choose which fields you want to include in the grid layout and then save the layout as a theme for later use. The following procedure applies to the grid layout for any of the data entry grid in PCS Axis.
Complete the following steps:
1
Select one or more pipeline segments in the Select ROWs window. Click Save to close the window (Figure 7-4).
2
Open the Edit <module> Data window. For example, click Data Entry > Edit CPDM Data to open the Edit CPDM Data window.
3
Open the data entry grid that you want to add a new grid layout theme. For example, click the Inspection tab and then the Test Point button to display the Test Point Inspection grid.
4
If you want to collapse the Selected ROWs panel to view more of the grid, click the Selected ROWs bar. Clicking the bar again expands the panel.
5
Click the Customize tab then the Add button to open the New Layout Theme dialog box (Figure 7-82).

Type a name for the layout theme in the field Enter Theme Name. If you want to create a public theme, click the Public check box to place a check mark inside the check box. When the check box is empty, the layout saves as a private theme.
Note: Themes are either public or private. A public theme is available for use by all PCS Axis users. A private theme is available only to the user who creates it.
7
If you want to copy fields from an existing layout theme, click the Copy Content check box to place a check mark inside the check box. Then click the down arrow in the field Copy Fields From Theme and select a theme in the selection list.
If you do not want to copy fields from an existing layout theme, remove the check mark inside the Copy Content check box by clicking the check box.
