Column Control Component

The Column Control component is essentially the same as the 2 Column and 3 Column components.  It allows you to choose from a selection of multiple column layouts and defaults to a single column.

When should it be used?

Use the Column Control component when you need to display content side-by-side in two or three columns.

Note:  Column components cannot be nested (i.e., they cannot be placed within one another).

Column Control Settings

You can specify the column layout by choosing between the following 8 options:

  • 1 Column (100%)
  • 2 Columns (50%, 50%)
  • 2 Columns (33%, 67%)
