Layout Name:

Free text. Not mandatory, but recommended.
The layout name will be visible to the user when selecting a layout in the Generic Output Driver, in the Controller's Session Setup, Storage, Log File, or when selecting  a layout in the Export Generic Wizard.
When you created a new layout and save the layout xml the first time, by default this layout name will be used for the xml filename.

Additional Information:

Free text. Not mandatory
Additional information about the layout will be visible to the user when selecting a layout in the Generic Output Driver, or when selecting a layout in the Export Generic Wizard.

Database:

The QINSy database that is used to extract the data settings (e.g. which Node Id, System Id, etc.) from.

• When the editor is started from the Console, the loaded database is either the active template database, ór the last one loaded.
  This depends on the 'Always load active template at startup'-setting, which can be find under View Properties, General.
• When the editor is invoked (always online) by the Generic Output Driver, the loaded database is always the current template database.
• When the editor is invoked online by the Generic Display, the loaded database is always the current template database.
• When the editor is invoked during replay by the Generic Display, the loaded database is always the active replayed database.
• When the editor is invoked by the Export Generic module, the loaded database is always the first one visible on the first Export Wizard page.
