6.2 Understanding Page Types in the Create Page Wizard
Run the Create Page Wizard to add a new page to existing application. How the wizard works depends upon the type of page you are creating.
Tip:
Universal Theme - 42 is optimized to work equally well in either a mobile or desktop environment. In previous releases and in earlier themes, the Mobile user interface was based on jQuery Mobile. Because jQuery Mobile is desupported, you must migrate existing mobile applications to the Universal Theme.- Component Page Types
