The Layout Manager itself is non-modal, meaning that you can navigate to other menus or make modifications on the canvas without having to close it. The upper list of the Layouts view can be customized by having its columns sorted, added and removed. As you click through various lists, the canvas will be scrolled and the item spotlighted. In addition, all lists can be individually exported to Excel.
NOTE: Sorting, position, and selection are not saved and will refresh when changing views or leaving and coming back.
NOTE: As new columns are added, existing columns will be shrunk to make more space, except for in the Layouts view, where a scroll bar will be added. Any customization is tied to the computer (not to the schedule) and will be reset upon re-installation of NetPoint.
