Why are layouts important in the Relativity environment?

Layouts are essential in the Relativity environment because they provide the framework for how users interact with document fields. Specifically, layouts determine how document field values are presented and how users can edit these values. This structure enables users to view, update, and manipulate the data within their documents in a way that is organized and intuitive. By customizing layouts, administrators can tailor the user experience to meet specific needs, improving efficiency during review processes and data management.

In contrast, options related to user login times, document access levels, and user group settings address different aspects of the Relativity system. User login times deal with authentication and system access, access levels pertain to the permissions associated with different users but do not impact the layout of fields directly, and user group settings revolve around managing user classifications rather than influencing how document fields are laid out or interacted with. Therefore, the role of layouts in structuring document field editing is pivotal for effective data handling in Relativity.
