5.7 Site Assets Pane

The site assets pane is used to manage files that are associated with your site. You can use this pane to quickly and easily open, edit, and organize these files. You can show or hide the site assets pane from the View menu. Figure 5–17 Site Assets Pane Site Asset List The site asset list shows all types of assets. This list can be modified as desired; the entries can be arranged and grouped in any way you want by clicking the icon next to the menu. This opens the Site Asset Categories dialog see Site Asset Categories Dialog on page A-27, where you can change the way the items in the site assets pane are ordered and grouped. 5-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Site Studio Designer Toolbar The site assets pane has a toolbar that provides easy access to several functions: The list of asset categories is stored in the project file of a site, so to maintain the same asset list structure in the menu for each Web site, you must edit the list for each site. Content ID List After you select a site asset type in the menu, all assets of that type are listed. The content ID is the name of each site asset as given when the asset was created. When a good naming convention is used, the content ID of the asset can tell you at a glance what the asset is used for. You can sort the list of assets by content ID by clicking the column header. Title List Each site asset, when checked into the content server, has its own content ID and a title used for identification. The title is an additional way to help identify the site assets in the site asset pane. You can sort the list of assets by title by clicking the column header.

5.8 Toolbox

The toolbox contains fragments that you can add to page templates, region templates, and subtemplates. Fragments are containers for text, graphics, scripts, and anything else that adds functionality to a web page. You can show or hide the toolbox from the View menu.

Getting Started With Designer 5-15 Figure 5–18 Toolbox Site Studio Designer comes with several predefined fragments. There are four categories of fragments: navigation fragments, dynamic list fragments, static list fragments, and other fragments. Each category contains a variety of fragments in multiple scripting languages. You can use any fragment as-is or copy and edit the fragment to suit your needs. You can also create fragments from scratch. See Appendix C, Sample Fragments for details on the fragments provided with Designer. Adding a fragment to a template is easy. You simply place your cursor in the template where you want the fragment to appear and then click the desired fragment in the toolbox. Many fragments contain additional options called parameters that allow you to customize the appearance of the fragment before adding it to the template. See Chapter 13, Working With Fragments for more information on fragments.
