Description

Save Layout

If you made changes to your page layout, select this option to save your changes. When you return to this page your layout is retained.

• If you save a layout and sign in using a different workstation, the layout you saved is still the active layout.

• If you use two different Servigistics user accounts, the layouts saved using one account do not impact the changes made using the other account.

• If you are assigned the rights of another user using the Temporarily Assign User Rights function on the Users page, and you switch to that other user, the layouts of the other user are applied when the pages are displayed. Any changes saved as the temporarily assigned user are stored in that user’s account.

Load Saved Layout

If you made changes to your page layout and have not saved them, you can discard those changes by selecting this option.
