Document Structure

In Etelligent both emails and webpages are structured in the same way. They can therefore both be considered as examples of what can be called a Document.

Each Document has a layout defined in a System Template which will generally been created for you by a web programmer as it is built in HTML. There are default System Templates incuded in all installations, but additional ones can be uploaded.

Common layouts for a Document would be:

• Simple Stack Normally 3 Regions (Header, Body & Footer) which are all the same width, and stack one on top of the other.

• Two Column Body This is a design much beloved of web designers in which the body of the document is composed to two colums of which one is wider than the other (say in the ratio 25%/75%). There is a full width header at the top and a full width footer at the bottom.

Each Document contains a number of regions. Some of these Regions may contain editable content, and some are not. This is controled by the System Template.

Each region contains at least one but possibly many components. Components are vertically stacked in the region.

Schematically this can be represented as:
