Layouts user interface in the Portal Manager

When you select Content Development > Layouts in the Portal Manager, all layouts within that portal are displayed in a grid. The grid shows:

  • The layout name.
  • The layout type: Grid, Chart, Session, or Global.
  • The layout originator.
  • Which components the layout has. Components may include a user interface (UI), a client script, and a server script.

The toolbar on the right side of the form provides options for managing the layouts. See Standard content development functions for descriptions.

These additional options are available for use:

  • Show Editable Only: Select this check box to see only your editable layouts in the grid.
  • Auto-Update Layouts on Save: Select this check box to have scripts automatically updated on the server when you save a file in Visual Studio.
  • Validate Script Compilation: Click this button to compile all server-side scripts, to ensure that any global scripts being used are valid.
  • Open Editor: Click this button to open the Layout Editor in Create mode.
