PANEL Format

a CA Ideal panel, when imported or exported using the Source Transport Utility, has the following format. The section from FIELD to COMMENTS is repeated for every field, including group entries, on the panel. The FIELD entries must be in the same order as they display on a PDF summary.

ROW and COLUMN options specify the respective value of the row or column on the layout panel, not the facsimile panel. (These can differ for repeating groups.) For information on the description of the lowercase values, see the Creating Panel Definitions guide.
