Layouts and Behaviors Explained

Evolve offers many different possibilities for how you want the information in your Index Pages and Object Pages to be displayed.

These display options are controlled by Layouts and Behaviors.

Layouts control the physical structure of the web page, whereas Behaviors control how the data is displayed inside the Layout. Some Behaviors can only work with certain Layouts. Additionally, some Layouts and Behaviors can only be used on Index Pages, while others can only be used on Object Pages. However, some can be used on both.

Use the table below to see all the page display options available in Evolve, then follow the links to find out how to create them in your own Site.

No

Index Pages

Object Pages

Accordion

An Accordion is an Object List where each object reference is clickable and can be expanded to show further information about the object -either properties of the object, or associations.

When you use an Accordion, you can nest other Layouts and Behaviors inside it, such as another list of Associated Objects.

No

Index Pages

Table (Complex)

Table (Complex) behavior displays objects and properties in table format. You can choose which properties to display as columns, and you can include associations.

Users can sort the list by clicking column headings, and they can optionally edit objects directly in the Table itself.

Simple Matrix

 

Simple Matrix creates a table which displays Associated Objects for the object in question, and shows which other similar objects these Associated Objects are associated to.

For example, you could show which Risk objects your Process is associated with, and which other Processes are associated with those Risks.

No

Object Pages

Tabs based on Lookup Values

This list-type display organizes your objects into groups based on the value of Lookup properties (drop-downs such as Category).

Vertical tabs on the left side of the page are used to represent the values, while the objects themselves in each tab are displayed in simple lists.

Option

You can optionally include an Overview Chart which creates an 'Overview' tab displaying a Pie Chart showing the proportion of each value.

Pie Chart based on Lookup Values

 

The Pie Chart based on Lookup Values display creates a chart for a specified Object Type showing the percentage of objects with values from one Lookup (drop-down) property.

The chart is identical to the optional Overview Chart offered by the Tabs based on Lookup Values display.

No

Index Pages

Recursive Pie Chart

Recursive Pie Chart allows you to show a top-level chart which sums the values of properties of associated objects (or Intersection Objects), and then allows users to click those items to view a second chart showing all the objects associated to the selected object.

No

Visual Identity

 

The Visual Identity layout is used to show a list of objects with visual indicators to represent some of their properties.
