Introduction

On this Content Blocks page, you can set up account-level blocks of HTML content. Note that you can also set up event-level content blocks in Event Setup > Content Display > Content Blocks. Setting content blocks up at the account level means only needing to do so once, instead of separately in each event. You can use content that is common to multiple events, such as a display-shell footer, to justify account-level setup.

You can use content blocks in the following places:

• Email Templates
• (including Speaker Email Templates, Reviewer Email Templates, and Digital Event Templates)
• Forms
• Websites
• Event Display Shell
• Printable Confirmations

A content block can be displayed by selecting it in the same way (and from the same drop-down lists) as you would any dynamic data field. You can also choose to display content blocks conditionally by setting up Display Rules in an event: Event Setup > Display Rules. When an Email Template is generated, content block(s) selected in a rule are displayed if conditions in the rule are met.

Quick Tips

• Text Above Header — Text to be displayed above the Header, such as an introduction.

• Body — Type the body of the content block in the unlabeled text box in the center of the page.

Mix text and appended fields as necessary.

The usual editing features are available unless the Enable Editor? check box is cleared.

• Enable Editor? — If this check box is selected (as it is by default), the body of the block can be edited using standard controls for formatting, etc.

(See additional instructions about using the Editor.)

You can clear the check box in order to edit the Body in a simple text box, where you can hand-craft the HTML code (perhaps pasting it from an external editor), and still Append dynamic data fields.
