What is the hierarchy of the default Print layout?
When creating a print layout design template, it is possible to set it as default for all users or for specific usersand for all Business Partners or specific Business Partners.When several templates exist, for a specific document type, and each template has a different default userand Business Partner structure, the template defined as default for all users and all Business Partners will behighlighted in bold.In the following example, several different templates are defined for the sales quotation document.
However, the template ‘NL_Watermark’ is highlighted because it is the default template for all user
s and allBusiness Partners.Likewise, if a template is assigned to a specific default user, that template will always be highlighted as thedefault template for that user. However, if a template is assigned as default for a specific Business Partnerand a specific user, then the template will only be highlighted as default when both conditions are met.

is assigned to the Business P
