# Configure store layout

The fixed store layout is configured in the app by users who have the permission **Configure store layout** for the store. The permission only works together with **Handle surveillance requests** for the same store. Users without it do not see **Configure store layout** in the menu.

#### Open the editor

- From the monitor: open the menu and select **Configure store layout**.
- From the store picker: select **Configure store layouts**. The overview **Store layout** lists the stores you may configure with the number of registers and who changed the layout and when. Select **Edit** to change a layout or **Create** for a store that shows **No layout**.

If you may not configure the store, the app shows *"You may not configure this store's layout."*

---

#### Place the registers

The editor shows one grid for each group. Each square is a register or a gap.

- Type the register number on a square, as the registers stand in the store. An empty square stays as a gap.
- Select **+** after the last column or the last row to add a column or a row. **Remove last row** and **Remove last column** remove an empty row or column.
- Type a name in the group's name field. **Add group** adds another group and **Remove group** removes one.
- To move a register, drag it by its handle to another square. If you drop it on another register, the two registers swap places. This also works on a touch screen.

#### Import from the old app

- **Import from old app** loads the layout the old monitor app has for the store. The app shows "Registers loaded: *{count}*. Check them and save them." Nothing is saved until **Save** is selected. If the old app has no layout for the store the app shows "The old monitor app has no layout for this store."
- **Paste JSON** lets you paste the ‘*posUnitsLayout’* setting from Tenant Admin, for all stores or for just this store. Select **Use pasted layout** to load it into the editor.
- In the **Store layouts** overview, **Import all from old app** imports the old layout for every store that does not have one yet. Existing layouts are kept. The app reports which stores were imported, already had a layout, were not valid or are not yours.

---

#### Save, cancel and remove

- **Save** stores the layout. Every monitor that has the store open follows the new layout without reloading.
- **Cancel**, or the back arrow, leaves the editor without saving.
- **Remove layout** removes the layout after the confirmation "Remove the layout? Monitors of this store return to the dynamic views."
- Squares with a problem are marked in red and block saving: "Not a register number", "Used twice", or "Two groups have this name." The app shows "Fix the squares marked in red before saving."
- If the layout cannot be saved the app shows "The layout could not be saved." or "Layouts cannot be saved: this tenant has no layout database."
