Resource Renderers 

Definition

A resource renderer displays a single resource (file, folder, or link) on the screen. It groups the various elements of a resource and generates the screen display according to defined parameters. The elements of a resource include symbols and texts, for example.

 

Use

Resource renderers are based on Java classes, which you can configure extensively using resource renderer settings. You specify the resource renderer settings in the definition of a layout set.

 

To call up an overview of the available resource renderers, choose Content Management → User Interface → Mapping → Resource Renderers.
