Most times, it&amp;#39;s appropriate to use any container as long as the container you&amp;#39;re using can fit the criteria of what you&amp;#39;re trying to accomplish and the code is not overly cluttered. There are certainly optimal ways to approach most scenarios but that can vary depending what requirements you&amp;#39;re trying to fulfill. &lt;br /&gt;

I had already read Appian&amp;#39;s UX Guide. They give some examples of using containers within containers but no actual guideline on when and how. And I haven&amp;#39;t found any other information about it.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is there a guideline/standard on using containers?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/60838?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Sep 2018 16:38:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:8e35572e-26a2-4a99-8362-3882f4118b8e</guid><dc:creator>Colton Beck</dc:creator><description>Did you find the information you were looking for?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is there a guideline/standard on using containers?</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/59731?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:58:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:fb2bc095-16e8-4fd1-a3dd-d78553c744cd</guid><dc:creator>Colton Beck</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Check out the &lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.3/ux_getting_started.html"&gt;UX Design Guide&lt;/a&gt; for this type of information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
