Custom Cluster Layout
ProCompose Group Shape + Shape + heuristic into a saved preset.
Custom Cluster Layout lets Pro users compose a reusable cluster recipe from one Group Shape, one Shape, and one Clustering Heuristic. The dialog also stores the preset name, sort order, spacing, neutral threshold, and per-preset label colors in app settings.
How to get there
Layout dropdown -> Custom Cluster Layout...
Board template picker -> "Cluster: Custom"
Template cards can start from a custom-cluster layout mode.
Build a preset
Open the Custom Cluster Layout dialog, pick exactly one Group Shape, one Shape, and one Clustering Heuristic, then apply the preset. Group Shape controls how finished cluster blocks are arranged; Shape controls how items pack inside each cluster; Clustering Heuristic decides which bucket each item belongs to.
- Cluster Name is optional; leaving it blank uses the generated compact name for the selected shapes and heuristic.
- Label Colors can override the global cluster label text and background colors for this preset.
- Cluster Order chooses Sort Ascending or Sort Descending for bucket order.
- Neutral is only active for Color Hue low-saturation items and Sort by Name non-alpha items.
Dialog controls
The window title is "Custom Cluster Layout". Each selector enforces one active choice in its group, so a saved preset always has a complete shape + heuristic recipe.
Custom Cluster Layout is Pro-gated. Saved presets and custom-cluster settings persist through AppSettings (CustomClusterLayouts plus the legacy CustomClusterDisplayName/custom shape/heuristic fields), and those presets can be selected again or rebuilt after relayout.
