Automatic lists allow a selected content type to be highlighted on any content page in a predetermined order.
Block setup
Elements to consider when building Automatic list blocks:
Content type
Automatic lists can be generated for the following content types:
- Blog posts
- Catalogs
- Catalog items
- Contacts
- Events
- News items
- Opportunities
- Profiles
- Projects
- Publication references
- Services
Predetermined order
The order of the content cannot be changed in an Automatic list block. Based on the type of content listed, the order may be determined chronologically, alphabetically, or by weight.
Block content
While the order cannot be changed, the Automatic list block's content is fairly customizable, based on the type of content you wish to list.
For most content types, you can select how many items per block will appear, as well as filtering which content is shown based on tags, types, groups, etc.
Section layout
The width of the section will affect the width of the Automatic list block.
