About layouts

A layout specifies how entries are displayed in the Terms view in SDL MultiTerm (Desktop) or in MultiTerm Online. A layout determines which fields are displayed for each entry and in what order, as well as what kind of formatting is applied to field labels, field content and cross-reference or hyperlink text.

There are five default layouts available for each termbase which are stored in the Public Objects tree of each termbase:
Flags Layout
displays all fields except for system and history fields.
Full Layout
displays all fields including system and history fields.
Languages only
displays only descriptive fields at entry level, only language fields at language level, and only terminology fields at term level.
Source/Target
displays only descriptive fields at entry level, only the source and target language fields at language level, and only the source and target terminology fields at term level.
MultiTerm Classic
displays the entry as the default MultiTerm 5 layout.
