The Document Layout field on the Configuration tab is used when creating school configurable academic documents from the Academic Documents homepage.

The academic document record for an already built custom document. Note the System Type of "VC Custom" and the Document Layout of "None".

If this document is a custom document that was built before school configurable document functionality, then the System Type should be VC Custom and the Document Layout field should be None.  Most Veracross schools have custom built academic documents, as these are the only documents that existed until the school configurable documents functionality was released.
