12.4.2.2 Creating a Region from the Gallery

Add a region by clicking the Gallery, Region tab and right-clicking a region to display a context menu.

The Gallery displays beneath the Layout tab in the central pane of Page Designer. The Gallery contains three tabs: Regions, Items, and Buttons.

To create a region from the Gallery:

1. View the page in Page Designer:
   1. On the Workspace home page, click the App Builder icon.
   2. Select an application.
   3. Select a page.
   Page Designer appears.
2. In Page Designer, click the Layout tab in the central pane.
3. In the Gallery at the bottom of the central pane:
   1. Click the Region tab.
   2. Right-click a region to view the context menu.

      Note:

      To view legacy components, right-click a region and select Show Legacy Components. Legacy components appear. Although Oracle still supports legacy application components, Oracle does not recommend using them.
   3. Select Add To and then the location where you want to add the component.

   Page Designer indicates what actions are required next. If there is an error, a Messages icon displays in the Page Designer toolbar. Click the Messages icon to view a dialog listing all the errors. Select an error to highlight the associated attribute in the Property Editor.

4. Edit the appropriate attributes in the Property Editor.
   1. Title - Enter a region title. The region title only displays when it is defined in the region template.
   2. Type - Specify how the region is rendered.

      To learn more about supported region types, see Page Designer Help or Supported Region Types.

      Tip:

      To select a legacy region, select Show Legacy... from the Type list. Legacy region types appear in the list. Although Oracle still supports legacy application components, Oracle does not recommend using them.
   3. Edit the remaining attributes. The attributes that display depend upon the region Type.

      To view help for an attribute, select the attribute in the Property Editor and click the Help tab in the central pane.

5. Click Save or Save and Run Page.

Tip:

You can also drag and drop components from the Gallery. Click and hold the mouse on the region to be created and drag it the desired location in the Layout tab. When the mouse is over the appropriate location, the Layout tab displays as a darkened yellow tile. Release the mouse to drop the component. You can only drop components into appropriate drop positions, as determined by the component type.
