Create and edit layouts

Layouts are created on the basis of templates. When you open the "Design" module in the Portal Manager, the list of templates is loaded. You can also access the templates via the main menu File / New layout.

Templates

Click on "All" to display all the layout templates on the right-hand side of the dialog. The templates can be filtered by the following categories by clicking on the links of the same name:

  • Empty template

    Displays the templates that contain the minimum elements required for a layout.

  • General

    Shows all templates that have been pre-designed with various color schemes and style properties.

  • Mobile

    Shows all templates that are designed for mobile end devices.

Select your desired template from the right-hand area by clicking on it. The new layout, based on the selected template, will then be loaded and can be edited.

In the bottom section of the dialog you will find all the layouts already published in the portal.
