Using Layout Manager
The Layout Manger is a tool that enables the display of content from multiple pages on a single page.
Each page that uses Layout Manager has a page toolbar, one or more
containers, and each container has a toolbar.
One of the most prominent features of the Layout Manager is the ease of configuration. You can change the look of your page by moving containers, changing the size of containers, configuring the contents of container, and removing containers you don’t want to see. Some containers even provide additional functionality like refresh or a link to a corresponding page.
| The availability of the controls is related to the functionality provided by the container. |
This chart lists the various actions you can take to customize what containers are on the page, where they are displayed on the page, what is displayed on the container, the size of the container, and functions that are available on a container.
