Container module

A container is a grid layout of the other components described in this section. Container modules can support up to four columns and are helpful for neatly displaying other modules for easy digestion by your audience.

For a wire frame example of what this content type can look like on your site, see Container module design.

Creating container modules

To create a container:

1. In the header, click .

2. From the Create list, select one of the following:

   • Container Module - 1 column
   • Container Module - 2 column
   • Container Module - 3 column
   • Container Module - 4 column

3. Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.

4. Complete your site's workflow and publish the container module.

Main

Field	Description
Internal Name	Enter an internal name for this asset. Brightspot uses this name internally, such as in the search panel and recent activity widget. This name is not visible to visitors to your site.
Title	Enter a title. This title is not visible to the visitors to your site.
Description	Enter a description. This description is not visible to visitors to your site.
Column (One, Two, Three, Four)	Depending on number of columns in the container module, up to four Column fields are available. Click and select the type of module you want to add to the column. Based on your module choice, complete the required fields (at a minimum) for that module. Please refer to the help topic for the module type you choose for more information. You can stack multiple modules in each column. Repeat this process for each module you want stacked in this column.

Overrides

Field	Description
Anchor	Modify the anchor to something that would make sense when appearing in an Anchor field's drop-down menu on another asset. This allows you to directly link to this module in another asset. Being specific makes it easier to identify in a list of other anchors.

Note

The table above only shows the fields for a Container - 1 column module. You will have additional column fields that correspond to the number of columns you selected for your container module. For example, if you selected Container - 3 column, you will have Column One, Column Two and Column Three fields that all need to have module types selected and completed.

tip

Preview your container module to ensure the modules you select display properly in the various column layouts.
