Components

Definition

Components are reusable elements of the user interface that provide functions, for example, sort functions or current path specifications.

Use

You enter the components to be displayed with the collection on the user interface in the configuration of collection renderer settings in the Components parameter.

To call up an overview of the available components, choose Content Management →User Interface →Mapping → Components.

The following components are contained in the standard delivery:
