Use a short text element

A short text element is used to store small amounts of fixed-length text where the length is 250 bytes or less. Unlike the other text elements, short text elements can also be used as a search parameter in a Personalization rule. To create a short text element, we can either add a short text element to an authoring template, site area or content item, or create a short text component.

• Create a short text component
  We create a short text component when reusing a small section of text in multiple places in the website. For example, we could use a short text component to store the name of a product or service.

• Add a short text element to an item
  We add a short text element to a site area or content item when we want a small section of text to be used for a specific site area or content item.

• Add a short text element to a template
  We add a short text element to an authoring template when we want a short text element to be used by a set of items using the same authoring template.
