From Settings > Business Process Manager > Module name (es. Accounts) is possible to access to Layout Editor of any module.

It is possible to move a field thanks to the drag&drop function, both inside of a blocka and from one block to another one.

The layout editor allows you to:

add a custom field within a block
change the positioning of a field
edit properties of the field
display the list of hidden fields, with the option of restoring them
move fields in other blocks into one block
add new blocks to the tab (a block is a set of fields, useful for keeping the tab tidy)
block operations: move above/below, delete (only allowed if the block does not contain fields)
sort the relationships (serves to define which relationships to keep in the single tab configurator)
add a new tab with relative blocks and fields

Versioning: all settings for the modules can be saved, generating a version (e.g. v.1.0). Versions can be exported or imported to ensure a higher level of security during setup.
