Header, Left, Right, and FooterYou can choose from one of many different screen layout formats, each of which can be styled in the skin. For example, you can choose the Header Footer Left format, which provides a header, a left sidebar, a main area, and a footer.
Each region in a screen layout can contain a single section. That section can hold a layout, which in turn can hold various controls or included sections. Typically, the section that goes into the main area contains a dynamic container.
Screen layouts can exhibit responsive behavior, as configured in the skin. You can set responsive breakpoints for screen layouts, enabling the layout to adjust according to screen size, providing an optimal user experience on a desktop, tablet, and phone.
