Page Layout Options in Documentum

Improved flexibility is built into the framework that allows for publishing pages in the following configurations:

Standard (includes all page areas: header, section & page title, HiNav, center content, right column and footer)
Standard without Section or Page Title
Application (includes all page area but is used only for application pages)
Pop-up (includes header, page title and footer specific to pop-up pages)
Standard without HiNav
Standard without HiNav, Page or Section Title
Blank Page (has no page elements and is used only by web marketing approval)

Note: Data driven pages (using CMT publishing system) and applications (CAMP) do not have the above page laout options/templates but standard page layout.

No Right Column Option in Standard Layout

Right column can/will be collapsed in this layout option if no content is inserted in that column. We strongly advise that you use this feature with care and only when your content requires wider page width. Here are some use cases that would demand a page with no right column:

Product comparison tables or product code
Wide tables can now be displayed taking advantage of the collapsed right column feature
Large graphic introducing a concept (make sure you work with a visual designer on such images)
Listing pages where there are two columns of links; in this case, more page width helps links not to wrap as much

Standard without Section or Page Title

Use this layout option in the following use cases:

Root pages
Any other page with approval from Cisco.com UE team

Application

Use this layout option only in the case of applications.

Pop-up

Use this layout option in the following use cases:

Users are completing a parallel task and need to have both windows open at the same time; in this scenario, the pop-up is used as "temporary focus".
The pop-up is a step in the workflow and will be closed as the task is completed.

Standard without HiNav

This layout option is used in very rare cases where there is no need for the page to have access to the hierachy of the information via HiNav. Using this layout option needs approval from the Cisco.com UE team.

Standard without HiNav, Page or Section Title

Offering additional flexibility for different types of content, the page can be formatted to omit HiNav, section or page title as well as the right column by not inserting any content in that column. This creates the most free space and can be used for certain types of promotions or events, for example.

Using this layout option needs approval from the Cisco.com UE team.
