We recommend configuring these attributes using the graphical interface for one user, then exporting them to all other users.

[WebAccess]Layout-DocViewerPropertyName

These attributes also determine the display properties of the web client document viewer, but instead of specifying which panes to show, they specify properties of the panes. We recommend configuring these attributes using the graphical interface for one user, then exporting them to all other users.
