Each template component display is rendered based on the control properties. There are three major properties, but not all three are applicable to all components:

  • Placeholder: The span length and placement of the component.
    • mainContent (oneTwoTwo, oneTwo, onecolumn)
    • full-row (spans 2 columns), full-row1a (placed in left column), full-row1b (placed in right column)
    • full-row2 (spans 2 columns), full-row2a (placed in left column), full-row2b (placed in right column)
  • Data Source: The location path of the content to be pulled into the component.
  • Display Mode: The visual look of the component.
