layoutXL excludedViewList string "layout view names to be excluded"
Description
Specifies specific layout view names or layout view name patterns that should be excluded from opening in Layout XL.
-
When a specific layout view name is provided, the environment variable performs an absolute match to exclude the view name.
For example, if the specified view name to exclude is "extracted avLayout", the environment variable can exclude view names such as "extracted" and "avLayout". However, view names such as "extractedLay" or "Lay_avLayout" are allowed to open using Layout XL. -
When an exact view name is not specified but a view name pattern using one or more wildcard characters (*) is specified, the environment variable excludes all view names corresponding to the excluded pattern.
Some sample view name patterns using wildcard characters are: {*|*abcd|ab*cd|abcd*|*abcd*|*ab*cd|*ab*cd*|ab*cd*|ab*c*d}.
For example;-
If the specified view name pattern to exclude is
*, all view names are excluded. -
If the specified view name pattern to exclude is
ex*ed, the view nameextractedis excluded butLay_exABCedis not. -
If the specified view name pattern to exclude is
*ex*ed, view names such asextracted,LayexABCed, and similar others are excluded.
