Site Settings in SharePoint 2013: Part 2

Part 1

Now for the Part 2 of Site Settings that describe the Web Designer Galleries. Here we can see Site columns, Site content types, Web Parts, List templates, Master pages and page layouts, Themes, Solutions and Composed looks.

As you can see below.


Let's discuss them one by one so starting with Site Columns as you can see we can create Site Column from anywhere in the list or the Document Library where it will come up in the following way in the Site settings under the Site columns.

It will show you the type of the column and the source of it as we can see below.




Then in a similar way we can see Site Content Types as you can see we can create Content Type from anywhere in the list or the Document Library where it will come up in the following way in the Site settings under the Site Content Types.

It will show you the type of the column and the source of it as we can see below.




Then we have the Web Part Gallery, where we can see all our Web Parts placed in here with their Modified By and Modified Date along with their recommendation settings that are required to install them.





Similar way we have a List Template Gallery, where we can see all our custom lists placed in here with their Modified By and Modified Date along with their product version, Feature ID and Language of the List Templates.



Then we have a Master Page Gallery storing all our master pages.



In the following we can see the Theme Gallery where we can see our existing themes as well as upload new themes in it from here in the Theme Gallery.



Then we have Solutions, that store all the custom solutions. In here you can Upload a solution, activate or deactivate a solution and even upgrade a solution.



Then we have something new here as Composed Looks that state the color of the site and most importantly it tells from which Master Page or Theme it is inheriting that feature from.

It also has an Image URL if they are inheriting an image and they too have a Font Scheme URL if they are inheriting it from a style for the look and feel of the site.



This is the end of Part 2, see you again with other parts.

Keep Leaning,

Cheers.
