Here are some of the best practices in working with the RDF Add-on templates to create responsive HTML pages:

• Since the RDF templates are dependent on styling, it may be preferable to create your HTML content in the same node in which your RDF content is saved, so that you will have access to the proper style sheets.
• Create your own folder so that you can save your content separate from the packaged templates folder. You can copy the templates that you want to use to this folder and rename them to suit your needs.
• If you want to create a dashboard with parameters, or other InfoApps, remove some of the iframes and add your controls to the appropriate panels.
• If you want to change the look and feel of the page, you can override the CSS classes by using inline CSS or importing your own CSS.
• The templates are also preconfigured with a filter section that is hidden by default. If you want to use the filter section, simply add your controls to the filter panels located at the top of the page or to the secondary filter panels located at the bottom of the page. The secondary filters open from the left as a sliding accordion panel when you click the filter button during runtime.
• The collapsible filter area at the top of the page will not appear at run time if no filters are placed in it.
• The primary filter section can be configured to collapse completely, which is the default setting, or to collapse into a breadcrumbs display showing only the active selections for each control. This is controlled by adding a JavaScript variable to the onInitialUpdate function:

  function onInitialUpdate() {

       filterToggleMode = ‘crumbs’;

  }

  Adding global filters is explained in more detail in Working With Filters.
