Adding Fluid Pages to a Fluid Component

Like classic applications, the fluid application uses components to contain sets of pages. With all the different page types that are included within a single fluid transaction (header pages, footer pages, primary pages, and so on) they must all be included within the same component so they run in the same component buffer. Having these pages all in the same component buffer means you can write PeopleCode to work on all page types at the same time.

Note: When using the default system pages, as in the default header page provided by PeopleTools, the system automatically loads those pages into the component. If you intend to use those pages, they do not need to be added manually to the component. However, if you have built custom header pages, search pages, and so on, those pages need to be inserted manually into the component to associate them with that component so the system loads them at runtime.

Note: Do not include layout pages (templates) within a fluid component definition.
