Use the Layout Editor to change the display of the dynamic data fields in your content type. Layout Editor is used for the following content types:

• Live Data
• Weather
• Date/Time

Step 1

Right click on the content type and select Edit Layout. You can also edit the Properties of your content type and click on the ellipsis button to the right of the 'Layout' field.
Pro Tip! - Edit layouts for assets already assigned to a template so you can easily preview the results as you work.

Step 2

The Layout window opens.

Clicking Properties opens the Layout Properties window.
 

Clicking Group-by-Band enables common value row sorting.

Zoom in and out of the layout editor by clicking the plus (+) or minus (-) magnifying icons.

In the Data Fields section there are fields colored grey. These fields are Static Fields that allow you to include custom content with any dynamic data.

Data Source fields (colored white) represent the dynamic data elements in a syndicated (RSS) or XML feed. The data elements in an RSS or XML feed are detected and the fields are automatically displayed.

Step 4

Under the Data fields list there is the Free Form layout. This layout is where you add the data fields to your content type. The This layout has two types of bands:

• Title Band – useful for a header or a title.
• Row Band – where most fields go in the layout.

Click and drag data fields into the layout area. Resize fields by hovering the mouse over the resize handles and click and drag to the size you want.

Step 5

To move a field, click on it and drag to the new location. You can also position by X/Y coordinate by right clicking, selecting Properties. 

Step 6

Below the layout area is the area for layout dimensions. If your content is assigned to a region in a template, the size of the row will determine how many articles in the feed will fit in that region. From there, you can resize the row height and width to change the number of articles as desired. For precise positioning and sizing of data fields, open the Field Properties tab and enter the X/Y coordinates, width and height.

Step 7

To change the format for a specific data field, use the data field inspector located to the right of the Layout Dimensions/Field Properties section. 

Modify the front to back relationshipn of any fields by clicking the first 2 smaller icons on the bottom. You may also further modify the selected field in this box by clicking on the 3rd small icon (wrench) and you'll see a pop-up window providing more parameters such as 'Text format', 'Background location' and 'Formatting' which provide an abundance of styling options.

Step 8

Add fields and resize until you have your desired layout. Click OK and Save.
