Layouts That Specify What Fields Display in Tables and Lists and How

The contents container specifies the source of information for a table and a list. You use a layout to specify which fields display as columns in the table or a list. The layouts determine which fields display, their order, and their relative widths to other fields.

Important: If you created your table as a visualization, this topic doesn't apply to you. That's because you specify the columns you want to display in the tabular chart visualization itself.

There are separate layouts for different sales objects. For opportunities, the 2 relevant sales dashboard layouts are listed under the Dynamic Table heading:

• Dashboard Layout, which specifies the columns in tables.
• List Layout, which defines the fields in lists.

You can create different layouts for different containers.

To understand how to specify the fields in layouts, see the example provided in Specify the Columns in a Sales Dashboard Table and Their Widths. You can edit list layouts in the same way.
