Manage Task Navigator Layouts

You can use a layout to determine how a filter result is displayed in the activity navigator. In addition to a global standard layout, you can define a specific layout for each filter and workspace.

You can use layouts to define how items are displayed in the table-based views of the activity navigator. You or other users can refer to layouts to quickly restore your preferred layout.

There are four types of layouts:

  • A default global layout is usually defined by a system administrator. This layout is used when there is no filter-specific or workspace-specific layout. It can always be assigned.

  • “My Default Layout” is a personal layout of the user, which they can apply to each filter result. This layout exists once for each user and can be freely defined by them.

  • “My Default Layout (Local)” is a personal layout of the user, which is bound to a computer and browser. For example, the user can define a layout on the computer in the meeting room that is adapted to the screen available there, while they work in their office with the regular standard layout.

  • A workspace-specific or filter-specific layout appears when a workspace or filter is selected in the Task Navigator. A bucket administrator can set default layouts for their workspaces, which can then be applied by any user.
