How Do You Nest Containers in Portal Layout

kshaw · ‎10-05-2020

Trying to figure out how to nest the container widgets in the Service Portal.

In example below, I have a 3/9 container. Want the 3 to be a long sidebar. Then I want to nest containers in the 9 section so I can added HTML headers (or a custom widget) followed by 3 icon link buttons and then repeat. It is so easy to do in HTML/CSS but how to do it in the constraints of the portal container widgets.

This can definitely be done, but not in Page Designer.

If you create a new page in the pages list, use the related lists at the bottom to build out your containers, columns, and rows you can make this work pretty easily. You could go all the way through and create widget instances as well, but my preference would be to just create the containers and rows and columns first, then switch to Page Designer to confirm that the layout is what I want before dropping in widgets.
