Page Types & Their Common Properties
There are five types of pages that you can use to create your Publishing & Workflow systems:
- Data Page - a page which publishes data from a form database.
- Drill Down Page - a child page of a data page; used to "drill down" into a selected record to view the details or link relational tables together
- Search Page - a child page of a data page; used to set up a simple search form.
- Edit Page - a child page of a data page; allow the user to edit the records they are viewing.
- Custom Page - create a custom static page or embed a form.

The Publishing Workflow Wizard creates a workflow with one data page.
Insert a new page by right-clicking on the parent page in the Workflow Outline Panel and choosing Insert New, or by clicking the Insert Page button in the top tool bar.
Search page, Drill Down pages, and Edit pages can only be inserted as children of a Data Page. To insert these page types, first click on the parent Data Page then right-click and choose Insert New.All Pages share these common properties with some exceptions as noted below.

Layout Settings
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Two Column Layout |
When this setting is set to true, the page layout for the current page will use a two column layout. You can insert custom content into the second column. This setting can also be set at the Profile level to use a two column layout with common content on all pages. To set this at the Profile level, click the Root Profile node and configure the Two Column Layout setting. Note: this option is not available when using the Basic Theme. |
|
Side Column Content |
When Two Column Layout is enabled, this property can be edited to insert the second column content. |
|
Side Column Align |
Select if the Second Column should be left or right aligned. |
|
Custom CSS |
Create custom CSS for use at the per page level. CSS setting can also be applied via Profile Settings to affect all pages. We recommend you use a DOM tree inspector like Firebug for FireFox, or IE Developer tools for Internet Explorer to inspect the page markup and find selectors for which you can apply CSS. It is recommended that you use class selectors instead of ID selectors as ID selectors may change. |
