Summon: Responsive Design
- Product: Summon
How does the Summon service support users' varying screen sizes?
July 2014 Update: Added a note about IE8, a known browser that does not support responsive design technology.
Summon 2.0 uses a Responsive Design layout so that the Summon service "responds" to the user's screen size and provides an effective user experience.
In addition to providing layouts for using Summon on a mobile device, the Summon service also responds to varying desktop/laptop sizes by providing a narrower third column for the Explorer pane (displays Topic Explorer and Item Preview) for desktop/laptop screen widths of 1280 pixels and less.
Specific details on the layouts for mobile and desktop/laptop screens are as follows:
| Screen Width | Devices | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Column Layout | Less than 701 pixel width | Most mobile devices |
| 2 Column Layout | Greater than 700 pixel width Less than 1025 pixel width |
iPad (Portrait screen orientation) Large phone (Landscape screen orientation) Low resolution PCs |
| 3 Column Layout (slim 3rd column) |
Greater than 1024 pixel width Less than 1281 pixel width |
Desktop / Laptop iPad (Landscape screen orientation) Most tablets (Landscape screen orientation) |
| 3 Column Layout (full 3rd column) |
Greater than 1280 pixel width | Large desktop / laptop |
Note that Internet Explorer 8 does not support responsive design technology, so any website that uses responsive design will not work in IE8.
