About Applying Formatting from Containers

In the Compound Layout, you can specify formatting properties for view containers, including background color, borders, and padding.

When you import container formatting, the views in the target analysis inherit the exact container formatting properties as the views in the saved analysis.

However, the layout of the views in the two analyses don’t have to be exactly the same. If the target analysis contains more views than the source analysis, the extra views also inherit the imported formatting.

For example, suppose that a saved analysis contains two tables that are stacked on top of each other in one layout column and that the target analysis contains four tables divided between two layout columns. When you import the formatting, the two tables in each of the first and second layout columns of the target analysis inherit the formatting.
