You are creating a new interface. You need to arrange the primary, top-level contents of the interface across the width of the page. According to best practices, which layout should be used in order to accomplish this?
The "Section" layout is a full-width container that can be used to group and arrange other components, such as fields, buttons, and other layouts. By default, a section will take up the full width of the page, making it ideal for arranging top-level content. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
When designing a new interface in Appian, and you need to arrange top-level components across the width of the page (i.e., horizontally), the best practice is to use the Columns layout (a!columnsLayout()).
✅ Why Columns?
Allows you to place multiple content areas side by side across the width of the screen.
Fully supports responsive design, adjusting to different screen sizes (e.g., stacking on mobile).
It's the modern replacement for older layouts like Side by Side Layout.
Why not the others?
Option Why Not
B. Card Used to group content visually, but doesn’t inherently control horizontal layout.
C. Side by Side Layout Deprecated. Not recommended for new design — replaced by Columns.
D. Section Groups content vertically, not for arranging horizontally across the page.
