Long Page and Overview Template
Last Updated 06.18.02
General Description
A long page is an extension of a 1
Page Object Template. The page is used to display an object's contents
and may vertically scroll, so Quick Links are
used at the top to define the sections within the page. An overview page
may be a 1 Page Object Template or the first section within a multi-sectioned
object template such as an Object Template with Side Navigation or SubTabs.
The Overview Page displays aggregate information regarding an object where
the user can either drill for details and updating per section within the
1 page, or navigate to other sections via the side nav or subtab if the
object is divided into multiple pages. Guideline Attributes

Interaction and Usage Specifications
General Principles
- Quick Links at the top of the long page
and/or overview page are helpful for the user to be able to scan the
contents of the page. See Quick Links for
general usage.
- Page should be broken up into sections,
not one long page with no grouping. See Introduction
to Page Templates.
- For overview pages, typically each section
can be updated by selecting section level button. If the side navigation or subtab component is present, the
user would navigate to each section by selecting a different side nav or subtab link to update.
