Properties are the configurable values that determine the component content and view on the layout. Each component contains a set of individual properties. Also, the properties of the same component in various item types may differ.

To configure the component properties:

1. Select the required component on the item layout.

2. Go to the Properties tab.

Here, you can assign the element type to components added to the item layout or block.

Also, you can upload an asset to the selected component or replace the existing one. For this, click BROWSE and select the required asset from Library, Veeva Vault, or your device.

For the button, calendar, card, event, and tab group components, you can improve the visibility of light text in the text input area with the Dark background toggle.

See how to customize the properties for specific components in the Components section.

Element type

On the Properties tab, you can assign the element type to the title, text, image, and video added to the item layout, or block. For this, select the component on the layout and choose the required value from the ELEMENT TYPE list.

To configure the element type list, contact your administrator.

The component element type matches the asset classification specified in Veeva Vault PromoMats.

To arrange assets of a content module from Veeva Vault PromoMats within a block according to your design, assign the required element types to block components. For example:

Element type

Component

Headline

Title

Summary

Text

Photo

Image

Video

Video

As a result, the module assets are inserted only into the components of a matching element type.

Assigning a new element type to a component within the added Veeva Vault module affects the structure of the source module after you republish this module to Veeva Vault PromoMats.

Modules
​

The new element type approach for module text assets implies the following scenarios:

  • In eWizard Editor, you can change the element type of the module text asset. Then, publish the module with modified text assets to update the existing ones in Veeva Vault PromoMats. Only text assets with modified element types are updated within the module, while those without changes retain their original element type. Source text assets, separately from modules, remain unchanged.

  • When you pull the content module from Veeva Vault PromoMats into the content item, its text assets have the updated element types assigned during publication instead of the original ones.

Source asset link

Contact your administrator to configure the display of the source asset link.

After pulling media and text assets from Veeva Vault PromoMats to Editor components, you can find links to the Veeva Vault source assets on the Properties tab. To view the media asset, claim, and reusable text in Veeva Vault PromoMats, click the Source asset link on the component Properties tab. This feature provides quick access to the original asset in Veeva Vault PromoMats when you need to update it or check its metadata.
