Creating Multi-Content Containers

How to:

Create a Multi-Content Container

In WebFOCUS Designer, you can create multi-content containers that show multiple content items at the same time. For example, you can create a carousel that rotates images or an accordion container that maximizes space on your page.

The multi-content container types include:

Tab. Displays content items using tabs that you can click to view secondary content items.
Carousel. Displays content as slides that rotate between other content items automatically.
Accordion. Displays content items in an accordion-styled container that you can expand or collapse to view different content items.

Procedure: How to Create a Multi-Content Container

Add a content item to your page.
Drag a new content item to your page, and place it over the existing container.
The Add Content dialog box opens, and presents the following options.
- Replace content. Replaces the content item with the new one.
- Add content as new tab. Creates a tabbed container.
- Add content as new slide. Converts the container to a carousel, and adds content as slides.
- Add content as new accordion area. Creates an accordion container.
- Cancel. Closes the Add Content dialog box.
Select an option to modify the container.

The item refreshes and shows the multi-content container. You can modify the container title and adjust the placement on your page.

Note: Once you have selected a new tab, new slide, or new accordion area, the options in this menu only allow you to replace an item or add an item.
