Each layout is stored internally in a file (*.layout).

All single layout files will be stored together in a ZIP-file (*.layouts), the so called layout set.

An index file (LayoutConfiguration.config) manages all corresponding layouts.

The images from ibaQPanel views are stored in a backup file (BackupStorage.storage).

The ibaQPanel text translations are stored in a dictionary file (Dictionary.dict).

All these files are XML-files.

The user decides where the files should be stored:

• locally on the client

• on the ibaPDA server or

• on the ibaHD-Server
