Editing a Static List

A static list contains rows and columns of information. To edit the list, you select a row in the list and then edit the individual fields (or cells) in that row. When you do this, Contributor opens a window for you to work in. When you are finished, you can close the window and return to Contributor where you can edit other rows or even other parts of the web page.

To change a static list, perform these tasks:

1. Open the static list in the Contributor editor.

2. Click to select the row in the static list that you would like to edit.

3. Click the Edit Row icon (Figure) in the static list toolbar.

   If you receive the message "Please select a row," the table may not contain any rows yet. You must add a row before you can edit it (see Adding and Removing Rows in a Static List).

4. The Static List Row editor opens (see Static List Row Editor), with appropriate sections for you to edit. Enter the appropriate text, graphics, and other content as you normally would in Contributor.

   The number of fields in this dialog may vary, depending on how your site was set up.

5. Click the Update icon (Figure) to save your work.

   This returns you to the Contributor editor for the contribution region, where you see the row you just edited highlighted within the static list section editor.

   
   

   Note: When you preview the list, it may look very different from what it looks like in Contributor. This depends on how the list was originally set up by the designer. The available editing options in the static list may vary, too, depending on how the site was set up. You cannot change the column headings for the static list. They are created by the designer when the list was first set up. Contact your site designer for details.
