Snippets
October 15, 2050 / Tags: Snippets, Toolbar, Basic Training
Snippets are building blocks for designing a page.
They can be viewed and selected by editing a page, then clicking the puzzle-piece
icon in the toolbar.
They are built using a table that transforms the table's rows and columns into different displays based on the information placed into the snippet.
Snippet Structure
The snippet's instructions can be found by double clicking the snippet header.
Header: This is the name of the snippet, the snippets categories are seperated by pipes. Example: Billboard | 2 Column | Blue
A billboard snippet is a snippet that spans the whole width of the page, 2 columns describes the layout inside the billboard, and blue is the variation or theme of that snippet. The fields make it easier to search for other snippets with similar names.
Properties: This is the second row on the snippet if it's available. It has a light gray background like the header. To find out if the snippet you're using has properties or what properties are available for that snippet, double click the header of the snippet.
Instructions: The dark gray fields will give you instructions on what to fill-in on the cell underneath it. If it's asking for an image with a specific size, make sure to use the same dimensions that it's requesting. It also may tell you to type in specific information like "Name" or "Button". A button would require a hyper linked item.
