About Custom Layout Limits

Certain limits apply to the following layout types:

• Static page layouts
• Dynamic page layouts
• Homepage layouts
• Search layouts

For the static, dynamic, and Homepage layout types, the maximum number of characters (including spaces) that you can use in a custom layout name is 50. For the search layout type, the maximum number of characters (including spaces) that you can use in a custom layout name is 30.

Do not use more than a total of 30,000 characters in total in the layout names of a given type for a record type, including the default layout if one exists. Otherwise, the Role Management Wizard does not work correctly. This limit determines the number of custom layouts that you can create. When the layout names are stored in Oracle CRM On Demand, they are separated by a comma so that the total number of characters required to store a layout name is:

1+(length of layout name)

In this case, length of layout name is the number of characters in the layout name.

To estimate how many layouts of a given type that you can create for a record type, determine how many characters you will use in a typical layout name, and then apply the following formula:

30000/[1+(length of layout name)]

In this formula, length of layout name is the number of characters in a typical layout name.

For example, if your company typically uses 29 characters in each custom static page layout name for the Account record type, then approximately 1000 static page layouts can be stored for the Account record type, that is, 30,000 divided by 30. However, the characters used in the name of the default static page layout for the record type are counted as part of the overall limit. Therefore, the number of custom static page layouts that can be stored for the Account record type in this example is 999 or fewer, depending on the length of the name of the default page layout.

Similarly, if your company uses 29 characters in each Homepage layout name for the Account record type, then the number of custom Homepage layouts that can be stored for the Account record type is approximately 999, depending on the length of the name of the default Homepage layout for the Account record type.
