Insert Layout dialog box

You can add layouts to a document or dashboard or import documents using the Insert Layout dialog box. Once you have added multiple layouts to the document, users can easily switch between layouts by clicking the tabs at the top of the document, making it easy to display related data. XBRi provides templates for both dashboard and document layouts, as well as the ability to import an existing document as a new layout. If you choose to import an existing document as a new layout, the formatting, controls, and any dataset reports the imported document makes use of are also included, and the imported document is displayed on a new layout tab.
