# Default Module Layout

You can also implicitly setup a default layout to use when rendering views from the specific module. This only works when you call the `event.setView()` method from your module event handlers. Once called, the framework will discover the default layout to render that view in. You set up the default layout for a module by using the layoutSettings structure in your configuration:

```javascript
layoutSettings = {
  defaultLayout = "MyLayout.cfm"
};
```

> **Caution** The set default layout MUST exist in the layouts folder of your module and the declaration must have the `.cfm` extension attached.
