The Layout Tab

This section is for specifying the View Sets to be used with the Cumulus Web Client.

The selected Record or Category View Set controls which metadata are displayed, and in which order. The Record View set – referred to as File View in the Cumulus Web Client – affects file overview pages as well as file profile pages. The Category View set – referred to as Container View in the Cumulus Web Client – only affects container profile pages.

You can either specify a Record View Set and/or a Category View Set that is mandatory for all users of the Cumulus Web Client, or you can allow the user to change the view(s) individually.

Make sure that all Record View Sets / Category View sets are shared sets (see Creating and Editing Record View Sets). Also make sure that users have access to the view sets they are supposed to use. Users can’t log in if they are unable to access either the mandatory view set or at least one of the view sets they are supposed to choose from.

Cumulus remembers a user’s selection of views and uses the respective View Sets the next time the user logs in. Only on the initial log-in of a brand new user, the standard view sets would be employed.

• Record View Set – Drop-down list to select the Record View Set to be used as mandatory file view, or to allow users to change their file view.

• Category View Set – Drop-down list to select the Category View Set to be used as mandatory container view, or to allow users to change their container view.

NOTE: Not all settings in a View set will take effect with the Web Client. For a short overview on possible restrictions see Select a Record View Set and a Category View Set to be used.

This section is for specifying messages the administrator wants to be displayed to users as well as for adding and customizing an additional footer. This footer can be used to display further information or navigation options.
