Panel Examples and Instructions

The articles below all use the Panel template. They show the main panel types, and describe how they have been built.

There are dozens of styles that can be added to panels, generally applied by relating metadata to the articles that provide panel content. Panel Subsite and Metadata Configuration gives an overview, and you'll find find some examples in each article too.

These articles use a lot of dummy content, so following the links to items displayed in the panels will look a bit basic.

Examples

This website also uses the panel template.

  • The home page uses a carousel and series of list panels
  • The Case Management landing page has search panel, tab panel, then list panels in different styles
