Unable to set layout types other than Page or Overlay

[nbomar55]

I sent the following into Palantir Support and was told to redirect my question to the Dev Community instead. I’m very new and highly unfamiliar with Foundry, so I apologize if this is an embarrassingly basic fix:

I am trying to familiarize myself with Foundry as the job I just started is switching their data management over to Foundry AIP, and my supervisor told me to get familiar with the Loop Layout feature in the Workshop. I’ve been playing around with external IDs and linking different workshops, but it seems I cannot create a loop layout. The only layouts I can add are pages or overviews. When I try to create a new Workshop Module, it always defaults to a Page layout without allowing me to select anything else. The AIP helper said to contact support to figure out why I cannot select any other layouts when creating a new Workshop Module. This is my own account, so I can’t understand why there would be any restrictions.

Please help

Welcome to Foundry AIP

The Workshop Loop Layout is actually a configuration for a Section level layout, rather than a full page. So if you want the entire module to consist of a loop layout, you set it by clicking the “Set Layout” and then choosing Loop from the options. At that point, you’ll be prompted to select a different Workshop module to serve as the content for the Loop and to choose the object set that should be looped over, with one instance per object in the set.

Thank you, that’s exactly where I was going wrong. What a simple fix!
