Sitecore Standard Template Fields - Part-4

Sitecore Standard Template: Layout Section

The Layout section of the standard template contains the following fields that control how Sitecore renders an item:

• Renderings (Sitecore.FieldIDs.LayoutField): Often defined in standard values for data templates, this is the field in which Sitecore stores shared (unversioned/untranslated) layout details for items.
• Final Renderings (Sitecore.FieldIDs.FinalLayoutField): Typically defined in individual items rather than standard values, this is the field in which Sitecore stores the versioned and translated components of layout details.
• Renderers (Sitecore.FieldIDs.Renderers): This is the field in which an item can specify renderers (for rendering items in the context of a page generated from another item) for use by the Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls.ItemRenderer web control or the ItemRenderer MVC renderer.
• Controller (Sitecore.Mvc. Names.FieldNames.Controller, which actually provides the name of the field rather than its ID): This field can specify an MVC controller to invoke when a client requests the item.
• Controller Action (Sitecore.Mvc. Names.FieldNames.ControllerAction, which also provides the name of the field rather than its ID): This field can specify the name of an action method in the MVC controller to invoke when a client requests the item. A value in this field makes sense only when the __Controller field has a value.
• Presets (Sitecore.Web.WebEditUtil.LayoutPresetsFieldId): This field can store references to preconfigured layout details that users can apply to items.
• Page Level Test Set Definition (Sitecore.Analytics.AnalyticsIds.PageLevelTestDefinitionField): Manages page-level tests for the item.

Sitecore Standard Template: Lifetime Section

The Lifetime section of the standard template contains fields for managing publishing restrictions at the version level. Sitecore manages item-level publishing restrictions in fields within the Publishing section of the standard template.

• Valid to (Sitecore.FieldIDs.ValidTo): The date after which publishing operations will remove the version from publishing target databases.
• Hide version (Sitecore.FieldIDs.HideVersion): Prevents publishing of the version to publishing target databases.
• Valid from (Sitecore.FieldIDs.ValidFrom): Date after which publishing operations will remove the version from publishing target databases.
