Creating dynamic layout pagelets

The Dynamic Layout pagelet allows you to arrange pages as headlines, in a customizable format. Customized HTML determines how each pagelet snippet is displayed in view mode.

From the System menu, select the Syndication Manager.
In the Syndication Type drop-down box, be sure you select Pagelets.
From the Use Editor Settings From drop-down, select a site/design template to apply to your pagelets.
Locate the pagelet that will be the parent of this new pagelet and click its (Edit) link.
On the Child Pages tab, mouse over the New button and select Dynamic Layout.
Complete the fields in the Page SummaryPage Summary section.
- Title - this is a required field. The title you enter here appears at the top of the page you are creating. It is also the text that becomes the link to this page. The font style, size and color are pre-determined by design templates. You cannot change them.
- HTML Title - this is optional. The title you enter here can be displayed on your Site Map page. Also, with static type publication of your web site, it is the name that will be given to the HTML page. If it is left blank the HTML file will take the Title field as the file name. Your site administrator can tell you what type of publication your organization does.
On the Sites tab, indicate which sites will be using this new pagelet.
