To make editing easier, Concordance provides the ability to select specific fields and change the order they are displayed in the Edit view. Changing field display settings only affects your view of the fields - it does not affect field display for other users. These field settings apply to all records within the database.
Concordance uses edit layouts to determine the which fields are displayed, and order in which they are displayed. Edit layouts are created and maintained on the Edit Layout dialog box, and are stored in <databasename>.Editlayout files. An edit layout can be created or edited by anyone in the database. However, only the Concordance Administrator or person who created the layout has permissions to delete it.

When creating an Edit Layout for a concatenated set, only the fields of the primary database are displayed in the Available Fields list for non-identical concatenated databases. |
