Content

A web page in SiteVision consists of many different portlets, for example text, table, webmap etc. In Content the portlets for the page selected in the navigator are shown.

It can be a good idea to change the names of the portlets on a web page. In the example above there are two text portlets and with the same name they can be hard to distinguish from each other. By right clicking on a portlet and choosing the alternative Rename you can change the name to a more appropriate name like "Heading" if the portlet is a text portlet used for headings.

OBSERVE! To make the name change, you have to finish by clicking Enter on the keyboard.

The different portlets are represented by different icons:

Absolute content: Shows that the user has the right to add a portlet anywhere on the web page. In that case the absolute content is used to define where the portlets will be placed.
Content area*: Predefined area where the user places the portlets.
Text: Icon for a text portlet.
Image: Icon for an image portlet.
Table: Icon for a table portlet.
Other portlets: Icon for the other portlets that you find in the navigator, interactive and other.
Layout: If you want to place the portlets in rows you can use layouts for this purpose. The portlets that should be affected by this are to be placed in the layout.
Layout: If you want to place the portlets in columns you can use layouts for this purpose. The portlets that should be affected by this are to be placed in the layout.
Linked layout: Icon for a linked layout that displays a copy of an already existing layout.
Template area**: Predefined area that that can be modified in the next template.

* = Content areas have different names depending on how they are created in the templates. There are three predefined content areas: Center column, Left column and Right column. In this example it is named Middle.

** = By default there is one template area: TemplateArea. In this example it is named TemplateArea

OBSERVE! The sequence of how the portlets are placed in the content area is decisive for how the page will be displayed for the user. To change the order of the portlets you can use drag-and-drop (press Shift-key and drag-and-drop the portlets to their new location).
