Applying a layout to an import specification

On the Import Details page of the import wizard, you can apply automatic layouts to the chart that receives any new items. Layouts are applied in the sequence in which they are displayed in the list, with the layout at the top of the list applied first.

About this task

The layout properties in the Select Layouts window are similar to the properties that are displayed if you click the Arrange tab, click Layout Setup, and then select a layout from the list. However, any changes that you make in the Select Layouts window are saved only in your import specification. The layouts that you can select for your import are guided by the type of chart you generate.

Procedure

To set the layout of the chart that contains new items:
  1. On the Import Details page, click Change in Layout imported items using.
  2. Double-click a layout in the Available Layouts list. The layout is added to the Layouts Applied List.
  3. Set the properties for the selected layout. The available properties vary from layout to layout.
  4. Optional: Select the Layout imported items only checkbox to apply the layout only to the new items, rather than the whole chart.
  5. Click OK to return to the Import Details page.
