Region

Scope: All pages.

 

Description: Regions define the layout of the page design. There exist 15 regions that act as header, columns and footer of the page that can be enabled and disabled at any stage of the site design. The image below shows the dialog box that allows enabling and disabling regions in a page. To access this dialog box, an option is provided in the page toolbar.
