Grid View (Deprecated)

Purpose

Create an interactive content grid.

Description

The Grid View component creates an interactive content grid. You configure the component by specifying content within a table, and by configuring its look-and-feel and level of interactivity.

Specifying Content

You specify content by editing a table in the Rich Text Editor. By default, the component includes a 3-by-4 content grid.

To edit the table, follow these steps:

1. Open the Rich Text Editor.
Select the component in the canvas and press the Enter key.

2. Edit the default content.
Select the component in the canvas and press the Enter key.
Click within the cells to edit the default content, or use the right-click menu to edit the table properties.  You can also edit the code directly by using the HTML Source Editor.  Note that the first row is defined as the table header and must not be deleted.

3. Click the Save button.
The default grid content and the right-click menu are shown below.
