View Layout Copier

A Power Platform ToolBox (PPTB) tool that allows you to copy layout from one view to multiple views of the same entity in a single operation.

• View Management: View all system views for the selected entity
• Layout Copying: Copy the layout from one view to multiple other views
• Real-time Progress: See the status of each view update in real-time
• Error Handling: Clear feedback on success and failure for each view update

How to Use

1. Select Entity: Choose the entity whose views you want to work with
2. Select Source View: Pick the view whose layout you want to copy
3. Select Target Views: Choose one or more views to apply the layout to
4. Copy: Click the "Copy Layout" button to apply the changes
