Page templates

Overview

A page template defines the common appearance of a number of pages in the application.

A page template is usually responsible for:

• The general layout of the page in terms of header, body, and footer
• The color scheme, logo and branding
• The presence of a sidebar and of the breadcrumbs
• The inclusion of common JavaScript and CSS resources
• The definition of the containers (see below)

Portofino has pre-defined templates (default, full-width , main-with-wells , etc...) but other templates can be added. To choose a template, configure the page and choose a template from the drop-down list.

Below are the descriptions and screenshots of the three standard templates.
