You can create custom layouts for viewing your Items in the following interfaces:
Custom layouts are stored for each individual user on that user's machine running the SI 2015 Client, meaning that they are not shareable via the SI 2015 Server.
Custom layouts are specific to each interface where they are created, e.g. if you create a custom layout in the Product Explorer interface, that custom layout will not be available to apply in the Project Explorer, as there are different fields relevant to each interface.
You can quickly find the information you are looking for.
As you see fit.
From the Layouts tab, click the Custom button:
If you have no Custom Layouts, you will be prompted to create one:
This will open the Manage Custom Layouts interface:
Here you can add/edit/delete your custom layouts.
Use the Left and Right arrows to move selected Available Columns to the Selected Columns window and use the Move Up and Move Down arrows to position your columns:
You can use the Sorting tab to set a particular sort order for columns:
If you want to group by any columns, you can use the Group/Ungroup buttons to set this:
When a Grouping has been set, your layout will default to this grouping:
Once you save your custom layout, you can apply it at any time:
There is an additional option to apply a custom Filter to any Custom Layout created within the Project Editor:
Click the [Define] button:
This will open the Define Project Items Filter interface. There are tabs along the side for various filters: Manufacturer, Category, etc...
Click the [Reset] button to clear any filter:
Custom Layouts persist within each Project.
