extends AbstractAppTransform
implements LayoutTransform

    Title: PromptsClassicTransform

    Description: The PromptsClassicTransform is respinsible of creating a container where all of the Prompt's page components will be rendered. It defines areas to render in container and if layouts aren't used then transform itself divides the rendering of the prompts container into several methods responsible of rendering such Prompt content, Prompt summary, Prompt Index, Execution bar, Generic Error, etc. Also, it is responsible of propagating generic properties to all prompts to be rendered in Page.
