How to change the standard Action Log layout

Introduction

The Action Log leanget layout is defined by an XML file where each block is defined individually: PARKING, TODAY, TOMORROW, WEEK, NEXT, DONE.

In the default layout PARKING name= Waiting (tag V_DEL3DL_AL_ParkingTitle in the XML definition file) and it is located at the bottom left of the board.

DELMIA R&D has prepared different layouts in the attached XML file
