A Phoenix project can have multiple Layouts which determine how the schedule is displayed. There is one Active Layout which is used for the current display of the schedule. All formatting options are stored in a layout and you can customize the entire appearance of the schedule several times by using multiple layouts. The current active layout is listed in the first status bar section from the left.

Layouts also determine what the active storepoint is and what comparisons are displayed. By default a layout is set up to track the newest storepoint. This saves you the trouble of having to manually change the active storepoint for every layout when you create a new storepoint. If you'd like to lock a layout's active storepoint to a particular storepoint you can change that option in the Manage Storepoints window.

Manage Layouts

Layout management can be accessed from Manage Layouts... in the View menu. From here you can create, delete, rename, select the active, and import layouts.

Clicking the Create button shows you a dialog where you can name and select whether to base the new layout off of an existing layout or create a new blank layout with default format options.

The Delete button will delete the selected layout. This can not be undone and all format data stored in that layout will be lost if you save your file so be sure you want to do this. If the active layout is deleted a new layout is made into the active layout.

Selecting Rename will begin editing the name of the selected layout. There are no restrictions on what you name your storepoint so be as descriptive as you want but the name you use must be unique.

The Make Active button switches the active layout to the selected layout. The schedule's appearance will update immediately with the newly active layout's formatting options.

Import lets you insert layouts from another Phoenix schedule file into this project. This can be useful if you have formatting options you want to apply to several projects.
