Managing Layout Profiles as

When the next import occurs, active layoutprofile__sys records import as crm_layout_profile__v records ith the following properties:
- name__v = The value of the name__v field from the corresponding layoutprofile__sys record
- status__v = active__v
- vault_crm_record_id__v = The value of the id field from the corresponding layoutprofile__sys record
Assigning Layout Profiles to Functional Profiles
Once layoutprofile__sys records are imported as crm_layout_profile__v records, Align operational users can assign a layout profile to multiple users at once using functional profiles:
- Edit the appropriate aln_functional_profile__v record.
- Use the CRM Layout Profile field to search for and select the appropriate crm_layout_profile__v record.
- Select Save.
If a layout profile associated with one or more functional profiles is deleted, the corresponding crm_layout_profile__v record is not deleted during the next import. Instead, an error displays in the import log informing users that the crm_layout_profile__v record must first be disassociated from all functional profiles.
Manually Overriding a Roster Member's Layout Profile
By default, individual roster members' associated layout profile is inherited from their associated functional profile. However, users can override this functionality with a specific layout profile per aln_roster_member__v record.
Roster members must be designated as Align-mastered in order to manually override their layout profile.
To override a roster member's layout profile:
- Edit the appropriate aln_roster_member__v record.
- Use the crm_layout_profile_override__v field to search for and select the appropriate layout profile.
- Select Save.
