## Design Goals

To increase the information viewing and searching efficiency. To raise the convenience of operation.

## Design Principles

## Typical Templates

### Basic Layouts

To display information with less content and low complexity.

#### Document Detail Templates

Deal with complex details in the following way: Divide information with high complexity and weak correlation into multiple parts. And put the parts into groups according to their relativities, with tabs, steps, cards, etc.

Conclude the closeness of each information module according to the relevance among them. Usually, the more relevant the contents are, the closer they are to each other.

- Non-column split lines: to separate relevant contents;
