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, you can either add a short text element to an authoring template, site, site area or content item, or create a short text component.
- Creating a short text component
You create a short text component when you want to reuse a small section of text in multiple places in your Web site.
For example, you could use a short text component to store the name of a product or service.
- Add a short text element to an item
You add a short text element to a site, site area or content item when you 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
You add a short text element to an authoring template when you want a short text element to be used by a set of content items that use the same authoring template.
