View the list of layouts assigned to a page

For any page managed in the Commerce Composer tool, we can see the layouts assigned to the page in either a list view or a calendar view. These views are useful when we are planning new layouts or troubleshooting layout assignments in store preview.


Task info

The Layout - List window and the Layout - Calendar window list only those layouts assigned directly to the page. Layouts that are inherited by the page from parent categories are not listed.


Procedure

  1. Open the Commerce Composer tool.

  2. In the explorer view, expand either the Content Pages or Catalog Pages folders, and locate the page.

  3. Right-click the page, and then choose one of the following options:

    Option Description
    Show Layout List The Layout - List window lists all layouts assigned to the page.

    We can sort the list by clicking certain column headings, such as Priority, Layout Name, Start Date, and End Date.

    Note: The listed layouts are assigned to the current page and can be assigned to other pages as shown in the Assigned to column. If you remove the layout from this list, we are deleting the layout object, but not the relationship between the selected category and layout. This impacts all pages where the layout is assigned.

    Show Layout Calendar The Layout - Calendar window also lists the layouts assigned to the page for a specific date range. We can adjust the date range displayed in the calendar:

    • In the Range fields, enter the date range.

    • Scroll the date range selector horizontally using the scroll bar under the selector. Then resize the width of the date range selector by using either the Scale options, or by dragging either side of the date range selector.

    We can sort the list by clicking certain column headings, such as Priority and Layout Name.

  4. To open any layout in the list, double-click the row.
