Create a New Row

• Select your rows storage folder — this is likely labeled _rows or similar. If you don't have one yet, build one now.
• From the top menu, select Add Content > Rows > Photo Cards.

Available Fields & Options

• Page Name: Required field; this is your row's file name in Cascade; customize the default name of row-photo-cards.
• Title: Required field; used as a section header for screen readers and should be meaningful.
• Show title?
  • If unchecked: The title is used by screen readers, but not visually displayed.
  • If checked: The title is prominently displayed at the top of the row.
• Row Theme: Select one of the available colors as the row's default theme. Elements within the row will be color-coordinated and optimized for design and accessibility. When placing the row on a page, the theme should be selected for that page.
• Intro Text: Option to add simple text below the title and above the photo cards. Text appears center-justified and can include links, bold and italics.
• With captions?: Choose whether the photo cards will have descriptive text. Your selection applies to all cards in the row.
• Photo card settings
  • This row requires two cards at minimum and sixteen at maximum. Use the green + to add a card. Use the up/down arrows or drag and drop to reorder them. 
  • Title: Required; displays below the photo.
  • Card Image: Required field; use the file chooser to select an image uploaded to Cascade.
    • Required dimensions: 600x400.
    • Images that don't meet the requirements will be scaled and cropped to fit the available space.
  • Caption: Displays below the title if the "With captions?" setting is activated. Recommended length of 50-250 characters. 
  • Internal Link: Use to link the card to an available Cascade asset.
  • External Link: Use to link the card to an asset not available within Cascade.
  • Anchor: Use to specify an anchor for your internal or external link — no # symbol required. To link to an anchor located on the same page as the row, do not specify an internal or external link destination. New to anchors? Learn how to first create an anchor on your pages or rows.

Note: Linked cards will display a small icon indicator in the top-right corner. The icon indicates to visitors whether the link is internal (will keep them on the same sub-domain) or external (will take them to a different domain or sub-domain).

Tip: For a more consistent experience, consider linking all or none of the cards in your row.

Updating Row Content

• To update the content of a row, edit and publish the row file. 
• You do not need to publish the pages displaying the row.
• If a row is unpublished or deleted, it will no longer appear on any live pages.

Tip: If you move or rename a row file, you will then need to publish any pages displaying the row. Not sure which pages are using the row? Check for relationships to the row.
