Add multiple elements to a layout column
|
Columns in class listing layouts now support multiple items for a given column. Class images can also be included in class schedule layouts. This can allow for a great deal more creativity in your class listing layouts.
For example,
- you can stack multiple buttons vertically
- you can put class start and end dates into a single column
- you can combine a class image and the class name into a single column
- you can add formatting around various elements (like borders, background colors, shading, etc.)
See the attached image for illustrations of some of these ideas.
When using this feature, each element will need to be positioned in the space using padding, margins, alignment, etc. This is necessary to get the best results. When you edit a layout column in Website > Settings > Named Layouts, you'll see a new formatting option is associated with each element for this purpose.
Please reach out to support if you need any help with this new option.
Reminder: images can be added to Class Types at Setup > General > Class Types. Those images can be selectively overridden at the class level if needed.

New attendance options
