Overview

Within each Account Type, organizations can change how information is arranged and displayed on its Accounts. Since accounts are meant to be a source of truth for an entity’s identity data, Persona provides a drag-and-drop Layout Editor to build Account pages that reflect your business needs. This may be helpful in the following scenarios:

  • Customize how account data is displayed per account type (e.g. surfacing the most frequently referenced information at the top of the page)
  • Consolidate data from multiple sources in one place and organize data by its source
  • Easily view and access related records

Configure your Account Layout

To modify your Account layout, use the Layout Editor to drag and drop modules into the desired location. Modules are prebuilt building blocks (e.g. Inquiries, Reports, Verifications) containing specific kinds of information that may be useful when performing business or user lookups. For an overview of the Layout Editor, see Account Layout Editor.

  1. From the left navigation menu, select Accounts > Types to view your existing list of Account Types.

    Accounts > Types page with the list of Account Types and the Create type button

  2. Click on an Account Type to open the Layout Editor. On this page, you’ll see the Account layout. Click an empty space in the layout to see the Module Library in the right panel. The Module Library lists the prebuilt modules you can add (see below for all available modules).

  3. Drag and drop a module into the layout. Drag it to reposition it, or click on it and drag a corner to resize it.

  4. Click on the module to configure it in the right panel. Under Module Layout, you can change its Dynamic height and Visibility.

  5. Click Save at the top right. Your changes apply to every Account of that Account Type.

Module configurations

  • Dynamic height: Module will grow or shrink to fit its contents.
  • Visibility: Dynamically control whether the module is hidden. This lets you set conditions for when the module should be displayed or hidden from view based on your requirements. You can read more about Visibility Configuration here.

Layout Modules

The Module Library in the Account Layout Editor groups modules into the following categories. For each module’s description and whether it supports Module Actions, see Accounts: Layout Modules.
