Best Method for Choosing/Navigating Layouts

[Medusa]

I am trying to build a solution which will contain many layouts, some forms, some lists, some tables. What is the best method for navigating through these layouts.

I want to have a number of categories and each category will have a number of layouts associated.

i.e. a category of Census would have layouts for 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 etc.

Thanks for any advise you can offer.

A category of Census (given there is a table for Census) would need a List view layout, a Form view layout, and perhaps a dedicated Find layout.

Each census year is a record in this table, all using the same layouts.

What I'm really trying to get is almost like a menu or folder system.

My idea is to have a main table which is EVENT. There will be various TYPES of EVENTs and each type will be part of a CATEGORY.

I'd like each layout to relate to records of each TYPE of EVENT.

I guess all I really need is something like the standard layout selector BUT I want to hide the status bar.

I was hoping for some other suggestions about how others navigate large numbers of layouts. What are the choices?

I use a 'master' script to navigate many layouts, with scrip being seeded with parameter from a button.

This way I can interrogate the script parameter and determine the layout I need to go to by using "Go to layout name by calcuation"

Of course the script can do many other things too, which could be based in the script parameter.
