A layout is a graphical interface that is used to design a form. A task layout is used to create a task form.
Initially, all projects will be associated with the standard layout. If the standard layout is modified, the changes will be reflected in all the associated projects.
A set of sections form a layout. Similar attributes are placed inside a section. Every layout will have a default section. You can also create your own section and use it in your layout.
A section named Schedule Reviews can accommodate fields such as First Review, Second Review, and Third Review.
A field is an integral part of a layout. You can add a new field or an existing field to your layout. Owner, Status, Start Date, Due Date, Completion Date, Duration, Priority, and Completion Percentage are the default fields in a layout.
A new field is a custom field that is yet to be created. An available field is a custom field that has already been created but not used in the current layout. You can always associate an available field to your current layout anytime.
