You can use up to 10 characters. | NotBlank | | 2 | Description | Text[80] | Specifies a description of the financial report columns definition. The description is not shown on the final report but is used to provide more context when using the definition. | | | 4 | Analysis View Name | Code[10] | Specifies the name of the analysis view you want the column definition to use. This field is optional. | TableRelation [Table 363 "Analysis View"](../table/363.md) (Analysis View) | | 5 | Internal Description | Text[500] | Specifies the internal description of the column definition. The internal description is not shown on the final report but is used to provide more context when using the definition. | | | 6 | Status | Code[10] | Specifies the status code for the column definition. The status code helps you organize the lifecycle of your column definitions. | TableRelation [Table 8395 "Financial Report Status"](../table/8395.md) (Financial Report Status) | | 7 | Status Blocked | Boolean | Specifies the status code is a blocked status. | FlowField: exist("Financial Report Status" where("Code" = field(Status), "Blocked" = const(true))); not editable | ## Keys - Key1: Name (clustered) ## Trigger event subscribers - OnAfterDeleteEvent: [Codeunit 1351 "Telemetry Subscribers"](../codeunit/1351.md) LogColumnLayoutNameLifecycleDelete - OnAfterInsertEvent: [Codeunit 1351 "Telemetry Subscribers"](../codeunit/1351.md) LogColumnLayoutNameLifecycleInsert - OnAfterModifyEvent: [Codeunit 1351 "Telemetry Subscribers"](../codeunit/1351.md) LogColumnLayoutNameLifecycleModify - OnAfterRenameEvent: [Codeunit 1351 "Telemetry Subscribers"](../codeunit/1351.md) LogColumnLayoutNameLifecycleRename ## Procedures - `XMLExchangeExport()`: Exports column layout definition and related columns to XML format for template sharing and backup. Creates configuration package containing column layout name and all associated column layout lines. - `XMLExchangeImport()`: Imports column layout definition from XML file and applies configuration to create new column layouts. Validates imported package structure and creates column layout name with associated column lines.

The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "table", object_name: "Column Layout Name")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
