Software

The Portal Manager, Page Editor, Layout Editor, and Field Display Format Editor are tools provided with IPF. They are used to add, remove, copy, and modify pages, styles, style families, FDFs, and page layouts.

To customize layout scripts with Visual Studio, you must have the .NET Framework 4.7.2 Dev Pack and one of these:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise or Professional 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, or 2019
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012, 2013, or 2015 for Web
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 or 2019

Express for Web and Community versions can be downloaded free from the Microsoft website.

Note: Our JavaScript IntelliSense comments depend on VSDoc style, which is not supported starting with Visual Studio 2017. If you use Visual Studio 2017 and you want to see this help information, you must disable the new JavaScript language service by clearing the Enable the new JavaScript language service option. This causes Visual Studio to revert to VSDoc. Refer to Visual Studio 2017 documentation for more information.
