When creating a standard container, the default layout is the free layout, which can be changed in the properties settings to the linear layout type Vertical/Horizontal. In this layout, the additional arrangement function
Direction is also an option. You can use the
Direction function to determine whether the elements are arranged side by side (
Horizontal) or vertically (
Vertical).
With the layout function
Type, each container element can be converted into a container (Vertical/Horizontal), a
sequence, an
overflow container, a
swap container or a
container (Free positioning). The
Type function in the
Layout tab determines the arrangement and display of the elements contained in a container element. There are five layout types available:
- Vertical/Horizontal: Container with the arrangement function Direction of the sub-elements horizontal or vertical.
- Sequence: All contained sub-elements are displayed in defined time periods like a slideshow. Sub-elements can be freely positioned.
- Overflow handling: All contained sub-elements are rotated in the overflow container with the Rotation function from top to bottom, or presented on several pages which can be turned over with the help of switch buttons.
- Swap (navigation, condition): In depends of the conditions defined in the display conditions tab or a configured navigation, only one respective element is displayed in the swap container. Sub-elements can be freely positioned.
- Free positioning: The Free positioning layout type allows you to freely position elements within the container, with each element corresponding to a layer.
