An Introduction to Layout
In the vFlow module, a layout is a virtual container. When you create a page in the application, it is created with a default layout. In a page, the page’s layout’s name is prefixed by the name of the page. An empty layout is composed of the following:
- A default row, which is referred to as L1_R1.
- A column, which is referred to as Column1.
In the default structural composition of the page layout, a page layout contains the default row, L1_R1. You can see this naming convention in the following screen capture:
Thus, the L1_R1 row also contains a default column, Column 1. The following screen capture shows Column 1, which is a child container or column in the L1_R1 row.
The purpose of a page layout is to design a page. You design a page following a planned scheme of wireframes. By following a final and approved wireframe, you add components and elements to a page layout. In the page layout, you can only add components and elements to the column container (for example, Column 1).
You cannot directly add components and elements to the layout or row container. You can use the row container to divide the page layout into different sections. If you want to start adding components and elements to the default scheme of the layout, you will have to add components and elements to Column 1.
