How do I add book or AV records to a Drag & Drop Email?

← Editing Items: Drag & Drop Email Editor

LibraryAware’s Template Modules offer a selection of ready-made Smart Containers and Structures you can use to quickly pull in Book/AV records, Event (Evanced feeds), or RSS feeds. *Smart" means that you populate these elements with external data, such as book and AV records.

Add a Book or AV Record Template Module

In the editor, expand the Modules tab.
Select Template Modules.

The default view is Tiles View. Select the List button to switch to List View.
The default grouping is by Category (Smart Containers, Smart Structures, and Other). Switch to Tag grouping by selecting the Funnel button and selecting Tag.

Search for Book or Audiovisual and scroll through the options.
When you locate the Module you want to use, select it and drag it into position in your email.

NOTE: Structures can only be stacked on other Structures. You cannot nest a Structure within another Structure. Container modules can be added to any existing Structure in the email, no matter the configuration of the Structure.
