General block settings
===========================================

The Layout tab contains settings that are general for most blocks, but scoped for each block. 

Adding filters to a block, if it's possible, works the same for most blocks. Find a general description of how to do that here: :doc:`Filter options for blocks </blocks/general-block-settings/filter-options-block/index>`

The Layout tab contains the following settings:

+ **Icon type**: If you would like an icon to be shown for the block, the first step is to select icon type. (If you don't select an icon, Icon type has no effect).
+ **Icon**: After having selected icon type, then select the icon.
+ **Header level**: Use this to select the formatting of the header.
+ **Custom settings**: For Header, you can choose to use the global settings (set up in Omnia admin) or use custom settings for this block.
