Working with the Controls in the Fluid Banner

The fluid banner is displayed on every fluid application page and contains many of the same controls displayed on fluid homepages. However, the controls displayed within the fluid banner can vary from component to component, depending on component settings, system settings, where you navigated from, and so on. In addition, which controls are displayed in the banner varies depending on the width of the browser window. As the width decreases, controls are moved from the banner to become links in the Actions menu.

The fluid banner is displayed on all fluid homepages and application pages. The fluid banner is divided into two sections. The upper section of the banner contains controls such as the back button, quick access bar items, global search, the home and notifications buttons, the actions menu, and the Navbar. The controls displayed within the lower section of the fluid banner include the title of the content you’re viewing and the contextual actions in the More Actions menu. See Using the Actions Menu.

The title of the homepage, dashboard, component, or transaction page appears in the lower section of the banner. The title is left justified and is wrappable.

However, small factor devices display an integrated banner and a single Actions menu on the banner.

Note:

Classic pages also display a fluid-like portal header with similar buttons and controls. This fluid-like portal header creates a consistent look and feel between classic and fluid applications.

This example illustrates the fluid banner on a fluid application page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls in the banner later on this page.
