A component is a configurable element designed to fill your item with meaningful content. You can find all available components on the Components
tab of the elements panel.
The set of available components depends on the item type you're editing and the template selected.
To add a component, drag the required one from the Components
tab and place it on the item layout. Then customize the component styling and properties or assign actions and animations.
When customizing text components, you can view the eWizard Font policy in the TEXT
section of the Properties
tab.
You can fill components with assets from My library, Veeva Vault, or your device and then replace the selected assets if required.
In the EDIT
mode, you can view the coded, container, image, title, and text components without assets. In the PREVIEW
mode, they aren't displayed on the layout.
To activate the context menu with editing options, right-click the component on the layout and select the required option.
Depending on the components available for your item, you can apply the following options:
Control | Action | Notes |
Clear formatting and start editing from scratch | Applicable to the text component | |
Paste the text with or without formatting | Applicable to the text component | |
