Creating Other Fluid Page Types

To create other fluid pages that can be created from a page template:

  1. In Application Designer, select File, New.

  2. Select Page (Fluid) in the New Definition dialog box, and click OK.

  3. Select an initial layout page (template) from the Choose Layout Page that corresponds to the page type that you want to create—for example, select PSL_SIMPLE_SBP to create a fluid subpage.

    See Choosing a Fluid Layout Page.

  4. Click Choose and enter the page name in the Save As dialog box.

  5. Indicate whether you’d like to save the PeopleCode associated with the layout page for your new page (Yes/No).

    Note:

    Typically, click Yes to include any PeopleCode from the layout page.

  6. Open the Page Properties dialog box.

  7. On the Use tab, select the page type—for example, select Subpage to create a fluid subpage, or select Secondary to create a fluid secondary page, and so on.

    Important:

    Do not select the Disable Display in Modal Window When Not Launched by DoModal Peoplecode check box for fluid secondary pages. Fluid secondary pages must always be displayed in a modal window.

  8. Define layout and add page controls according to the fluid techniques and guidelines described in this documentation.

Creating Other Fluid Pages Not Based on a Template

Certain fluid page types (such as footer pages, search pages, and so on) are not created from a fluid page layout template. Instead, you create these from the standard Page menu item.

To create other fluid pages that cannot be created from a page template:

  1. In Application Designer, select File, New.

  2. Select Page in the New Definition dialog box, and click OK.

    Note:

    Do not select Page (Fluid).

  3. Open the Page Properties dialog box.

  4. On the Use tab, select the page type—for example, select Footer Page. Also, select the Fluid Page check box.

  5. Insert a group box on the page that encompasses the entire page content area.
