Dynamic List Element Dialog

A dynamic list combines the power and flexibility of a fragment with contribution capabilities. The dynamic list performs a query in the content server, displays the files that match that query, and allows contributors to modify those files, even add new ones. You can control the contribution options that are available in the dynamic list using this dialog. This particular element is used in legacy sites, or in new sites as an old technique.

Element	Description
ID	The identification that Site Studio assigns to the element.
Name	The name you assign to the element. This is used for coding purposes and as such should not contain spaces, or non-ASCII or special characters. If you reuse the same data file in multiple places, then the name of the region and its elements on each page must be the same.
Label	Briefly describes the element. The label displays beside the field in Contributor to let individual contributors know what content should go there.
Info	A more detailed description that appears as a tooltip when contributors hover their mouse over the Info icon in Contributor.
Type	Indicates the type of element you are adding.
Actions	Actions determine the available editing options for a contributor: Go to Next Page: Contributors can view the next set of matches in Contributor, if applicable. Go to Previous Page: Contributors can view the previous set of matches in Contributor, if applicable. Refresh: Contributors can refresh the dynamic list in Contributor. They likely do this after they add an item to the list. Create New Item: Contributors can add items (contributor data files or native documents) to the dynamic list. New Item Settings: Opens the Region Content Options dialog (see Region Content Options Dialog), where you specify the type of files a contributor can add to the list. Exclude Item: Contributors can remove items from the dynamic list. (The item is removed from all dynamic lists on the Web site, but it is not removed from the content server.) Include Item: Contributors can include items in the dynamic list (that were previously excluded).
Actions (continued)	View Content Information for Item: Contributors can view the Content Information page for an item in the list. Edit Target Content Item: Contributors can edit the file after they add it to the list. Show Excluded Items: Contributors can view items not included in the Dynamic List and re-apply them to the list. Set Element Height: Used to set a fixed height of the element. Set Height: Use to set the height of the element by entering a number and the unit of measurement (centimeters, millimeters, inches, percent, picas, pixels, points).
Check All	Checks all of the actions so that a contributor has all available editing options.
Clear All	Clears all of the metadata values so that a contributor has no editing options.
Parameters	Opens the Fragment Parameter Values dialog (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog), where you can change the appearance and behavior of the dynamic list.
OK	Saves your settings and closes the Dynamic List Element dialog.
Cancel	Cancels your settings and closes the Dynamic List Element dialog.
Help	Opens the online help for this specific dialog.

When you allow contributors to add items to a list, they ultimately are adding web pages to the Web site.
