You can use the New Layout/Report assistant to create several types of layouts. After you choose a category that corresponds to the way in which the layout will be viewed — on a computer screen or a touch device screen — or printed, you make additional choices for the layout. After you finish the assistant, you can further customize the layout. A default
layout theme is assigned to each layout.
Computer layouts are designed to display within the dimensions of most laptop and desktop computer screens. After you choose Computer, you then choose the
view in which you want to display the layout. After you finish the assistant, you add the fields and any layout objects and embellishments you want to the layout.
Touch Device layouts are designed to display on touch-compatible input devices, including the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 3.5-inch, iPhone 4-inch, or a device with dimensions that you customize after you finish the assistant. After you choose Touch Device, you choose the view in which you want to display the layout. You can also choose the orientation — portrait or landscape — for the layout. After you finish the assistant, you add the fields and any layout objects and embellishments you want to the layout.
