Multiple Named Layouts
Description
Alpha Anywhere allows you to define multiple named grid layouts. A named grid layout defines a way of arranging and displaying the data in a grid. When you run a default layout it might show a grid with 10 columns. However when the Grid is displayed on a mobile device you might want a single layout column showing multiple fields. Defining separate named layouts is the way you can go about adding this functionality to your app.

- Has Named Layouts
Checking the 'Has named layouts' properties opens a set of properties that allow you to define multiple named layouts for a grid. This feature is particularly useful if you are designing an application that will be used across multiple platforms.
- Define Named Layouts
The Defined named layouts property gives you access to the Named Layouts Builder.
- Default Named Layout
The 'Default named layout' property determines what layout will be used as the default when you run your application.
- Named layout selector position
Specify where the Named Layout Selector should be shown. If you choose 'MasterTemplate' then you can use the {NamedLayoutSelector} placeholder in the template. You must also choose the 'Custom' template option for the 'Master Template'.
- Named layout selector template
(Optional) You can specify an HTML template for the named layout selector. Use the {NamedLayoutSelector} placeholder in the template for the actual selector.
- Allow select named layout
This adds a dropdown to your grid that allows the developer to switch between layout views in the preview mode.
