In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Policies are used to define design properties of a component. Policies allow developers and content authors to set design-specific parameters for components that are reusable across pages and templates. These policies are managed within the Template Editor, where they can be configured to control aspects like layout, styling, and responsive behavior, ensuring a consistent design throughout the website.
Key Features of Policies:
Consistent Design Control: Policies ensure that components adhere to predefined design standards, helping maintain brand consistency across multiple pages.
Flexible Component Configuration: Policies can be defined at the template level, allowing for variations in design properties based on the specific context or requirements of the site.
Centralized Management: By managing design properties through policies, AEM makes it easy to update and propagate design changes across the site from a single location.
Adobe Experience Manager Reference:
AEM documentation on the Template Editor and component design emphasizes the use of policies for managing component design properties. Policies offer a structured way to define design rules, supporting a consistent and flexible approach to content presentation.
