Fragment Parameters Dialog

Parameters are attributes that govern the appearance and behavior of a fragment when it is added to a page template. You create parameters in this dialog and then choose from those parameters when you use the fragment (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog).

Element	Description
Parameters: Name	Displays the existing parameters in the fragment.
	Creates a parameter in the fragment. The name is used for coding purposes and as such, should not contain spaces, or non-ASCII or special characters. Also, you should not use words that are commonly used for coding purposes, such as "like" (used by Idoc Script as a string comparison operator).
	Deletes the parameter in the fragment.
	Moves a parameter up in the list. This changes its location in this dialog and the Fragment Parameter Values dialog (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog).
	Moves a parameter down in the list. This changes its location in this dialog and the Fragment Parameter Values dialog (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog).
Type	Defines the function, or purpose, of the parameter. There are several types: text: Provides a simple text box where you can insert text when using the fragment. (You can create an option list for the text using the Option List: Label | Value) bigtext: Provides a much larger text box (in a popup window) where you can add and edit text when using the fragment. boolean: Provides a True or False value that you can specify when using the fragment. integer: Provides an integer value that you can specify when using the fragment. (This value may not contain decimal points.) float: Provides a value, including decimal points, that you can specify when using the fragment. size: Provides a sizing value, in pixels or percentage, that you can specify when using the fragment.
Type (continued)	color: Provides an RGB hexadecimal value (for example, 0xFF0000) and a color picker that you can use to select a color with when using the fragment. url: Provides a dialog that you can use to browse to a URL and then select it as a value when using the fragment. manageddoc: Opens a content server window that you use to browse to a document in the content server and select it as a value (dDocName), when using the fragment. (Use the Query Text field below to capture the query) managedurl: Opens a content server window that you use to browse to the URL of a document in the content server and then select it as a value, when using the fragment. (Use the Query Text field below to capture the query) managedquery: Opens the Edit Query Text dialog (see Edit Query Text Dialog), where you can build a query, when using the fragment. This parameter is most useful for dynamic list fragments. cssstyle: Provides a text box where you can specify a CSS style value when using the fragment. siteid: Provides a dialog (see Select Site Dialog) that you use to select a Web site in the content server, when using the fragment. nodeid: Opens a dialog (see Select Section Dialog) that you use to select a section in your site hierarchy, when using the fragment. custom: Provides advanced functionality for the fragment parameter.
Required	Makes the parameter required. When using the fragment, you must enter values for each parameter before the Fragment Parameter Values dialog (see Fragment Parameter Values Dialog) closes. You can make a parameter required and also supply an acceptable default value.
Description	Provides a description of the parameter. The description displays at the bottom of the Fragment Parameter Values dialog when you use the fragment.
Default value	Provides a default value for the parameter when you actually use the fragment.
Query Text	Specifies the query that is used when you browse for a document using the "manageddoc" or "managedurl" parameter type (above). If no query is specified, everything is searched in the content server. The Additional Information button opens the Edit Query Text dialog (see Edit Query Text Dialog), where you can enter your query, capture it, and test it in the content server.
Option List: Label | Value	Displays existing option lists in the fragment. Option lists are used to specify a list of possible values for a parameter of type "text" (above). The values display as a popup list of options in the Fragment Parameter Values dialog when you use the fragment.
Add	Opens the New Option dialog (see New Option Dialog), where you can add an option list.
Edit	Opens the New Option dialog (see New Option Dialog), where you can edit an option list.
Delete	Deletes an option list.
OK	Saves your settings and closes the Fragment Parameters dialog.
Cancel	Cancels your settings and closes the Fragment Parameters dialog.
Help	Opens the online help for this specific dialog.
