Select

The Select component can display different content based on specific criteria. You can use

the Select component to define variable content based on conditions such as metadata

values, or asset property values (such as filename and asset name). You can even use the

select component to choose between variable versions of other components, such as the

Navigation Bar component.

For example, you can define a select component that will insert different text snippets

depending on the value of a metadata field for the page that contains the component, or

depending on the value of a metadata field for the folder that contains the page, or the

deploy map that was used to publish or preview it. By using such a component on a

master page, you can automatically generate and insert different content snippets on

pages with different metadata values, or which are published using different deploy maps.

In this way, you can even create different deploy maps for different language versions of

a website, and use the select component to determine which language content will be

published with each deploy map.

How the Select Component Works

When you create a Select component, you define alternative content snippets for each of

the potential conditions.

This is useful if, for example, a metadata field called Author is defined for a project, and

you want to automatically insert the author's name onto each page. If there are three

primary authors, you could set up the Select component to do the following:

You can also use the Select component to display alternate content for pages in different

languages.

If the Author metadata

field is set to...

Then the component...

Ken Inserts "Author: Ken" on the page

Sara Inserts "Author: Sara" on the page

Alice Inserts "Author: Alice" on the page

Undefined Inserts "Author: Unknown" on the page
