The ModCon 2.0 approach to modular content creation introduces a grid-based structure for e-Detailers, emails, and modules, providing a consistent and flexible way to arrange content elements—text, images, and other assets—into grids and grid areas.

  • Grid is a structured layout formed by rows and columns, designed to organize content in a visually consistent and flexible manner.

  • Grid area defines sections where components are placed, ensuring alignment and consistency.

The grid-based structure ensures that components remain aligned and properly formatted in different content item types.

Text

When pulling content modules from Veeva Vault PromoMats to your modules, eWizard Editor supports rich text formatting. This applies to text both as individual assets and as parts of content modules. As a result, the uploaded text preserves the following formatting:

  • Font style: bold, italic, underline

  • Font effects: superscript, subscript

  • Lists: bulleted, numbered

  • Paragraphs

  • Hyperlinks

The content item template predefines the font family, size, and color of the text assets.

e-Detailers and their briefs

The grid-based structure is applied at the slide level. You can still create the e-Detailer slides with absolute positioning of components. For this, add a blank slide to your e-Detailer and drag the required components onto the layout.

In eWizard Editor, you can add grid-based blocks from the elements panel and arrange components within them using relative positioning, ensuring that components adjust within their assigned grid areas while maintaining a consistent layout.

e-Detailers and their briefs

When the number or size of components exceeds the available grid area, some components may extend beyond the visible slide area. These components remain accessible on the Tree tab, where you can review their position and adjust their placement as needed.

To add assets to the selected components on the layout, use the BROWSE button on the Properties tab. To streamline the content creation, you can also pull the content module from Veeva Vault PromoMats into the grid-based block.

You can select any component on the content item layout or on the Tree tab and apply available styling options and manage its properties.

Modules

The Tree tab isn't yet available in modules.

Grid controls

Available in templates with a grid-based structure

The grid controls in eWizard Editor allow you to modify the structure of the grid-based layout to ensure its design responds to the guidelines and requirements.

On the layout, when hovering over the grid-based area, you can see the following controls displayed:

Control

Action

Grid

Highlight the grid. The selected grid is also highlighted on the Tree tab.

Area

Highlight the grid area and all components inside. The selected grid area is also highlighted on the Tree tab.

Add to...

Unfold the following placement options:
Top/Bottom—to add a new grid area above/below the selected one. The new grid area has a default height of 120 pixels. It fills an entire new layout-wide row above/below the existing grid area.
Right/Left—to add a new grid area to the right/left of the selected one. The width of existing grid areas is adjusted proportionally. If an existing area contains text, it stretches down and rearranges the text.

Delete area

Remove the selected grid area and all content inside. If there are any adjacent grid areas, they automatically resize to fill the space left. The last remaining grid area in the grid can't be deleted, and the delete option is hidden.
You can also use a context menu on the layout to delete the required grid area except for the last one.
