Configure Dialog
The configure dialog allows the content author to define the which content fragments comprise the list and the elements of those fragments to be included.
Properties Tab
The Properties tab defines which Content Fragments are included in the list. This is primarily based on a selected Content Fragment Model, but there are other filter options available.
-
Model - Path to the Content Fragment Model on which the list is based.
- By default, all content fragments of the model defined as Model Path are included in the list.
-
Parent Path - Parent path from which the list should be built.
- The content fragments based on the selected Model Path will be filtered to those on the specified Parent Path.
- Click or tap the Open Selection Dialog button at the right side of the field to specify the path.
- The content fragments based on the selected Model Path will be filtered to those on the specified Parent Path.
-
Tags - Only the Content Fragments with the specified tags will be included in the list.

Max Items - Maximum number of items to be shown in the list

-
ID - This option allows to control the unique identifier of the component in the HTML and in the Data Layer.
