Repeating grid and repeating dynamic layouts

Updated on February 12, 2016

The Pega 7 UI Gallery provides repeating grid and repeating dynamic layouts. These layouts help in displaying content in a grid or in a dynamic section.

The following sections explain these layouts in more detail:

Repeating grid layouts

The repeating grid layout is useful for presenting linear content (such as a report), regardless of the screen size. Users must scroll to view the complete content.

A repeating grid typically contains a certain set of elements that are displayed repeatedly based on a condition or a rule.

Repeating dynamic layouts

The repeating dynamic layout is useful when you want to present content that is in nonlinear format. It automatically adjusts the layout elements with respect to the screen size. This layout helps developers when creating an interface for displaying data that can be viewed on a tablet, monitor, or smartphone.
