Creating a New Layout

You can create a new layout from scratch rather than basing a new layout on an existing one.

To create a new layout in PS/nVision:

1. Select nVision, and then New Layout from the nVision menu.

   The Create New nVision Layout dialog box appears.

2. Enter a name in the File name field.

   PS/nVision supports file names of up to 50 characters in length. You cannot change the default .xnv extension.

3. Specify whether you want to open the new layout as read-only.

   Selecting this option enables you to open layouts in read-only mode. This protects shared layouts from accidental changes and eliminates Excel messages indicating that the layout is in use (or resides on a read-only network drive). Changes made to a read-only layout are not saved and are not reflected in the report instances produced.

4. Click the Save button.

   The new layout is created, saved, and opened for you to define.
