Federated content element

A federated content element stores a reference to federated content such as IBM Content Manager content.

• Display federated content within a presentation template, component design or element design.
• Display a link to federated content within a presentation template, component design or element design.
• Display attributes of federated content within a presentation template, component design or element design.

To create a federated content element, you can either add a federated content element to an authoring template, site, site area or content item, or create a component reference component.

Web Content Management can not create or edit federated content. Refer to the documentation of your federated content source for information on creating and editing federated content.

• Federated content data source configuration
  To use the federated content component, first configure your Web Content Management Server to link to a federated data source. Only one federated data source can be used per Web content server.
• Using a federated content element
  When using a federated content element you will need to search a set of federated content and then select the content you would like to reference within the element.
