  • Default (activity) - New created objects are deposited onto this layer. Only one layer can be defined as the default.

  • Default (annotation) - When creating new Activities, the Activity text is automatically assigned on this layer. If a layer with this option does not exist, the Activity text is placed on the same layer as the Activity.

Layer order
