Importing Tab Layouts

This topic provides the procedure for importing tab layouts from an XML file you previously exported to.

To import tab layout to a target responsibility

1. From the application level-menu, navigate to the Administration - Application screen, then the Responsibilities view.

2. Click the Tab Layout view tab and select the target responsibility in the Responsibilities list.

3. Click the menu button in the Responsibilities list and select Import Tab Layout.

4. In the import dialog box, choose the XML file for the Application Tab Layout you want to import.

5. Click Import.

   After you have imported the XML file, default tabs in the application correspond to those defined in the file you imported.

   Note: Importing a tab layout file hides and resequences views for affected users. Although you cannot roll back imported changes directly, you can still modify tab layout settings in the Responsibilities Administration view, or you can modify the XML file and reimport it.

6. (Optional) If the XML file you are importing contains all the tab layout settings for a responsibility, not just the differences between the existing tab layout and the default tab layout, then, after importing the XML file, you must log out of the application, then log back in again to see the updated tab layout.
