Depending on job content and personal preferences, most users have a preferred
screen layout (open windows and window positions).
The purpose of the Layout features in IPDirector is to present a user his
personalised screen layout every time he logs on to IPDirector.
A number of Layout definitions can be saved and retrieved with a single mouse
click.
Through the Layout menu, the user can create, save, open and publish a layout.
The Layout buttons available in the Layout Panel allow one-click access to saved
