# Layout template folder

`/WEB-INF/template/default/layout`

This folder has the XSLT templates and configuration files that generate the *default* layout.

To customize a layout, please refer to the [project-specific Layout folder](../../folders_and_files/project_template/layout.md) instead.

### Layout configuration

The layout configuration expressed in the `config.xml` file is stored in this folder: For more detail, *see* [Layout Manager Config 1.4 (obsolete)](../schemas/layout_config.md).

```text

/WEB-INF/template/default/layout/config.xml
```

### File organization

Sub-folders are named after the type of UI component in the layout, which may be a page, block, tree or dialog. Within these folders, each component-specific template is stored as an XSLT template named after the component ID.

For example, the template for the ‘tasks’ page in the default perspective is stored under:

```text

/WEB-INF/template/default/layout/Page/tasks.xsl
```

### Perspectives

The file structure within that directory is identical for all default perspectives.
