Layout Manager

If you open the Design module and are not already logged on to a portal, the dialog to log in will be shown. Select the desired portal and log on.

In the Layout Manager, you can select an appropriate template for your layout with the mouse.

Templates

On the left-hand side of the Layout Manager, in the Templates area you will find a thematic grouping that will help you when searching for special requirements regarding the layout you wish to create. By clicking on Empty Template, only this template will be offered for selection. Clicking on General shows in the right-hand area shows all templates that have been constructed with various color schemes and style properties. Mobile shows all templates that are designed for mobile end devices.

Select the desired layout in the right-hand area with a click of the mouse. It will be loaded in the Design module and can be edited and published there.

Layout Wizard

By clicking on the Layout Wizard, an assistant will be started that will take you step by step through the creation of your new layout, helping you with the configuration of its most important properties.

Published Layouts

In the Layout Manager, you can also reach already published layouts that are already available to you in your portal. Click in the Layouts area on the link to Published.

In a newly created portal, you will see the Default layout here, i.e. the standard layout which is assigned automatically to every newly created portal. You can use this layout, either in order to later change it into your individual layout, or to use another, self-created layout by clicking on

Define as standard layout.

A layout can be opened for editing by clicking on

Open layout. Clicking on Create copy of layout duplicates the existing layout and opens the copy for editing. With

Delete, an existing layout will be deleted.

If you click on the link to Recently edited, all layouts will be listed that were edited recently. By clicking More…, you have the ability to open layouts that have been saved locally.

For a large list, the search in the upper area of the Layout Manager will ease you in the location of layouts. Simply enter the title or the GUID of the layout to be searched for into the box.

In the Users module, one may set in the individual user accounts which layout should be loaded in the browser when the corresponding user logs in.
