Back to topDefinition

A region is an area on a page that displays information and can contain either portlets, items, sub-page links, or tabs. When you first create a page, it consists of a single region.

A region

After creating a page, you can edit it to add more regions, and edit those regions to specify whether they contain portlets, items, or sub-page links. The following illustration shows the order in which regions were added to the page.

Three regions on a page

You can also add tabs to a region (Add Tab). Each tab can be divided into its own regions to increase the amount of information that the page can contain. In the following illustration, Tab 1 is the active tab. It has two regions. Tabs 2 and 3 are inactive. Each of them has one or more regions (which are hidden behind Tab 1).

Two regions on a tab

When you edit a region, you can also specify many other region properties, such as the width of the region, whether to display a banner at the top of the region, whether to group items that are contained in an item region, or whether to display borders around the portlets in a portlet region.
