The three available panel types are:

  • Panel - a plain panel holding fields
  • Region - a region panel able to hold nested panels in its regions north, east, west and south
  • Tabpanel - a panel holding further nested panels as tabs

Moreover, within a panel fields can be put into the following layout Components

  • Accordion
  • Fieldset
  • Field Container

And last but not least there are two extra layout elements:

  • Text - adds minimally formatted text to an object layout for descriptions and hints that don't fit into a field's tooltip. Since release 4.4.2, generate this text dynamically. See Dynamic Text Labels for details.
  • IFrame - provide a URL and make use of the context parameter to render the response of your choice. See Preview Iframe for details.

Pimcore uses Ext JS layout components for all object layout elements. See the Ext JS documentation pages and examples for a deeper understanding.
