What sections are there and what are their special features?

To add further content, the following sections are available in Flexivorlage 2.0:

Article
Teaser
Article with 2 Columns
Article with 3 Columns

Each type has a different predefined appearance (e.g., single or multiple columns, buttons, etc.) and contains image and text fields.

The sections are displayed on the right, in the “Sections” tab (1 in the illustration), where they can be inserted at the end of the email campaign with a single click or dragged and dropped to the desired location. To insert a new section directly below another, use the “+” icon in the editing bar to the right of the section (2 in the illustration).

What settings can be made for the individual sections?

The menu bar to the right of the section contains important commands such as “Add,” “Move,” “Copy,” and “Delete.” It is also possible to restrict the visibility of the section for a specific target group (dynamic content). The gear icon takes you to the section settings, which may vary depending on the section type. In addition to the input field for the section's statistics name, you will find various setting options there.

For each section, you can specify whether it should be displayed in the table of contents. With the Article with 2 Columns and the Article with 3 Columns, you also have the option of making this setting separately for each column.

For all section types, the “Layout” can be selected in the section properties. You can choose between Default, Highlighted, and Custom. The settings for the “Layout” Default and Highlighted can be defined in the general settings.

It is also possible to define the links for the buttons in the section properties for all sections. For multi-column sections (Article with 2/3 Columns), a button can be defined for each column.

Buttons are generally only displayed if they are linked and text has been stored with the button.
