Layout Style

Previous Next

The layout style is the way in which the data will be displayed by the browser. You can select one of these when you define the external set. There are four possible layouts available:

1.Table (which is also the default if you do not choose anything)
A table shows the data in columns, for example:

FIRST_NAME

FAMILY_NAME

Rick

O'Sullivan

Christine

Villery

Laurence

Hall

Peter

Ho

James

Siciliano

2.Form
A form is a set of vertical tables, like this:

FIRST_ NAME

Rick

FAMILY_NAME

O'Sullivan

FIRST_ NAME

Christine

FAMILY_NAME

Villery

FIRST_ NAME

Laurence

FAMILY_NAME

Hall

3.List
A list is just a list of the data, with breaks between each record, like this:

Rick

O'Sullivan

Christine

Villery

Laurence

Hall

4.Justified
This is similar to a list, but has a different layout, as shown here:

Rick O'Sullivan

Christine Villery

NOTE: You can use more than one layout style for different sets in the same export task.
