[edit] Theme selection

eFront offers advanced themes functionality and a plethora of themes to choose from. Administrators can select the one they prefer through the themes function or they can create and upload their own. Furthermore, themes can be assigned to specific browsers or to a mobile device. This ensures each theme is fully optimized with the appropriate browser and allows each browser to have its own theme, as shown below.

[edit] Page layout

Administrators can also adjust the page layout according to specific themes. For example, a specific page layout for mobile devices.

Users can also alter page layouts. This allows users to place the most popular function in a convenient location on their homepage, as shown below:

With the easy to use "drag and drop" feature, "blocks" can be placed where required. General layouts can be chosen depending on what suits the predetermined task of the theme accordingly.

This flexibility in the page layout gives users the ability to create a variety of themes depending on the task at hand. This will make the task easier to complete and increase efficiency.

[edit] Blocks creation

The administrator is able to create new blocks in the layout of the first page, according to the organization needs. While creating a new block he can add any type of information he wants in the block's editor (text, images, videos, urls etc).

After saving it, the new block is available and the administrator has to drag and drop it inside the layout, where he wants it to be shown.

The blocks can open as a separate page, if we click on the button which toggles the access as a separate page.

In this case, it is necessary to add the block "Menu" inside our layout, which is the block that will contain the links to these separate pages.

Each block that we define to toggle as a separate page will appear as a link inside the menu block. By clicking on a link a new page will open which will show the content of the block.
