Multiple Master Layouts
Hello community,
Is there any way to create multiple Master Layouts with different scopes
(e.g.: Master layout applied only to the container)?

no, this is not possible. There can only be one master layout per screen. Even, if it should be located inside a container, it will influence the other objects on the screen (whether they would be located inside a container or not).

As mentioned by Helmut, the out-of-the-box object in BOARD foresees the use of only one "Master Layout" in a screen.
However BOARD wouldn't be BOARD, if there are workarounds.The Layout Selection in the Procedures (see manual: Block Selections) allows you to apply specific selections only to specific datablocks in your screen.
I have made a small example.
On my dataview on the left, I show a budget cube per Item/SKU. I assigned 2 procedures "Apply Selection to Container 1", "Apply Selection to Container 2" to my drill down of this dataview, so I get something like this:
When the user selects an SKU and picks one of the both procedures, automatically that SKU will be selected in all of the objects inside that container (at least if I set up my procedure correctly ).
The procedure in this example looks like:
You basically have to use the same Procedure action "apply selection to Layout Block" to each datablock that you keep in your labels/dataviews/graphs inside your container. This may be a cumbersome task and once you get many datablocks the performance aren't super either, but I would definitely give it a shot as this approach provides you full flexibility.
All the best,
