Content Libraries

Content Libraries provides site managers the means to create 'groups' of image or text content that can be made available for visitors to select from. These groups can be linked to product configurations, which are then presented to visitors as options when personalizing a product. Content Libraries are accessed by selecting the 'Content Libraries' link from the administration link list. Content Libraries are only available if they are turned on in Settings and the site manager is either an administrator or a product manager. In order for content libraries to function, the site must be set to allow product personalization in Settings, the page template for the product must be designed to support personalization and the product must be built with personalization options specified. Talk to your integrator about setting up personalization for products on your web site.

The content library management interface consists of two areas: the link list and; the library form.
