If you have forms that are very similar to each other, you can create a Structured layout and add a variation for each instance of your form. When you add a variation, you already have the list of fields in the layout available to you without you having to enter them again.
When you create a Structured layout, you create a layout with a single variation. You can then add a variation to it by following the steps outlined below. Any variations you add will have the language setting that was selected from the Language drop-down list during the creation of the Structured layout (e.g., English).
You can only add variations to Structured layouts. While Semi-structured and Additional layouts consist of a single variation, you cannot add variations to those layouts.
Create a new variation
Before you begin, create a Structured layout by following the steps in Creating Structured Layouts.
Go to Library > Layouts, find the Structured layout you would like to add a variation to, and click on its name.
Below the last variation in the list, click +New Layout Variation.
Upload a PDF, TIFF, JPG, or PNG file in one of the following ways:
Drag and drop the image file into the box provided.
Click Choose File to find the file on your machine and upload it.
If you upload a multi-page TIFF or PDF file, a single layout variation will be created from the file.
If your form consists of multiple files, upload additional files by clicking on Add More Files.
When uploading multiple JPG or PNG files, the order of the layout variation’s pages will match the order of the files shown during the upload process.
The system will create separate layouts for each TIFF or PDF file that you upload.
Click Next.
Enter a name for your layout variation in the Layout Variation Name field.
If you want to use the bounding boxes and field settings from another variation, click on the Start From Variation drop-down list, and click on the name of the source variation you would like to use. If you want to create new bounding boxes, click None in this drop-down list.
Click Create.
