Plug-Ins for Layout Profiles
Plug-ins for layout profiles make several parameters available that users can use to modify the folder display directly in the Details dialog box of a folder to which a particular layout profile is assigned.
In the configuration of a layout profile , you can use the parameter Layout Profile Plug-In to define which plug-ins can be used in the Details dialog box for the configuration of the layout profiles.
To call up the overview of plug-ins that are used in a layout profile, choose Settings → Display from the Details dialog box for the folder in question. The available plug-ins are displayed as tab pages. For example, you can use a plug-in to determine how many columns and rows are to be displayed in a table or list. You can also define the sort criteria for resources. For more information, see Defining the Display of Folders .
To call up an overview of plug-ins stored in the configuration, choose Content Management → User Interface → Mapping → Layout Profile Plug-In from the configuration iView.
