Using This Component

This can only be added to a footer page (located in your site's Configuration folder(/content/abc/config).

By default, it will display the four-column fat footer and a simple footer: the 'default fat footer (four column)' option.

There is only one tab, but depending on the chosen layout, there may be various areas to hold content. Click the wrench icon to configure these settings.

Initially, it loads with a four-column 'fat footer' above a 'simple footer'.

The Footer container has options for a Simple Footer or an Enhanced Footer or a Fat Footer. The Fat Footer can be four or six columns, and includes the Simple Footer.

Mobile Ready

The Label setting will display a special heading on mobile phones and other small-screen device.
