Layout Activity
Layout Activity determines whether a report layout will be used upon audit completion. If a layout is active, the system will process it after the audit and generate a report based on its settings, which will then be sent automatically via email.
How Layout Activity Works
-
Active Layout:
- Upon audit completion, the system will generate a report using this layout.
- The report will be sent to the recipients specified in the layout settings, as well as to the responsible parties for the audit object (if the layout is the default layout).
-
Inactive Layout:
- The layout will not be processed after the audit.
- Reports based on this layout will not be generated or sent.
Restrictions on Deactivating Layouts
-
Individual Layouts:
- Can be deactivated.
- Useful for temporarily pausing the layout without deleting it.
-
Shared Layouts:
- Cannot be deactivated.
- Can only be disconnected from a specific audit template.
-
Default Layout:
-
Cannot be deactivated.
-
Attempting to deactivate it will result in an error:
The layout is set as the default layout. Deactivation is not allowed.
