Each Layout database needs a certain number of standard tabs/tables and a variable number of component tabs to function properly. The list of default tabs follows.

The component cards follow, variable in name and number. I suggest starting the name of the component cards with the prefix of the type of transport (A -> Air, B -> Bottles, C -> Packages, …). The number of characters allowed in the card name is rather limited. It is recommended to color the tabs of the standard cards.


A brief description of the standard cards follows.
