A template can contain several row components. The row component is most useful in templates that produce listings of objects in the product database.

To create a row do the following:

  1. On the toolbar, click the Row button.
  2. The Select Content Type dialog box appears, prompting you to select a content type for the row.

    If you want to use object-specific attributes in the row, you must select a content type from the list.

    Depending on your product, you may be able to select several content types. Check one or more content types from the list and click OK.

    Being able to select more than one content type involves modifying the Template Editor .ini file.

  3. You can also insert the row without selecting a content type, by just clicking OK. Note that if you do not select a content type, the value fields you insert in the row component will not be able to gather the data from the product database.
  4. Right-click to open the Row Properties dialog box and modify it, for example, the row rule to apply to the row.
