Applying a layout template to a page

Liferay provides a number of default layout templates that allow you to establish the layout of the pages in your Latitude Studio application.

Layout templates determine how components are organized on each page. For example, a page may contain two horizontal columns of different widths, or a banner over two equally-wide columns.

To change the layout of a page:

  1. Click the page tab.
  2. In the Dock menu, click Layout Template.
  3. In the Layout window, click the radio button for the layout you want to apply to the page.

    Layout dialog

  4. Click Save

    The new layout is applied to the page, with any existing components organized accordingly.

Note: If the default layout templates supplied by Liferay do not meet your needs, your developer can create custom layout template plugins for you, and your system administrator can make them available to your application.
