From the blog post [Ignition’s Template Canvas: Dynamically Creating Screens at Runtime](http://nickmudge.info/post/ignitions-template-canvas-dynamically-creating-screens-at-runtime):[quote]  
Layout Positioning uses a powerful and easy to use layout manager called MigLayout. The “layout” column in the Templates dataset is used for Layout Positioning. The layout column holds a MigLayout string for each row in the dataset.

Documentation for MigLayout is here: [MigLayout QuickStart](http://www.miglayout.com/QuickStart.pdf)

Here is a handy MigLayout cheetsheet: [MigLayout Cheetsheet](http://www.migcalendar.com/miglayout/mavensite/docs/cheatsheet.pdf).
