Editing Attribute Layouts
To edit an attribute layout, use the following procedure:
1. View the attribute layout that you want to edit.
2. Select Edit from the type information page Actions menu to enter edit mode.
3. Edit the Description field as needed. If the attribute layout is inherited, the inheritance icon displays next to the Description field. The name and description cannot be edited on inherited attribute layouts.
* 
Do not edit the Name field. The only supported names are Retail and Retail Search Criteria.
4. Edit the applicable Screen Types selection as needed. Use CTRL+click to select multiple screen types.
Selecting the All screen type means that the attribute layout applies to all screen types that do not have an attribute layout explicitly defined for them. Once a screen type is selected for an attribute layout, that screen type is no longer available for selection on other attribute layouts for that type.
The screen types cannot be edited on inherited attribute layouts.
* 
If you are editing an attribute layout on a PTC FlexPLM type, refer to Creating a New Attribute Layout for the required screen types corresponding to the required names.
5. Add additional layout elements as needed. Below each layout element is a drop-down list that defaults to Attribute Group. When you select a layout element from the list and click Add, the new layout element is added directly below the list. You can add new layout elements between existing layout elements by selecting items from the list in the appropriate position.
Select the desired type of layout element from the list, and click Add.
