Adding, moving or removing items in a multivalue field

A Component you edit may contain multivalue fields, that is, fields that are lists of items of the same type: for example, a list of images, a list of links to internal content, and so on. You can add, move or remove these items.

Procedure

  1. Click a multivalue field in which you want to add, remove or move values.
    • If the item you want to edit is not surrounded by a border, it is not editable.
    • If the border shows a lock icon, you cannot edit the item right now. Click the lock to find out what to do next.

    You can identify a multivalue field by clicking one of its values. If it is a multivalue field, the following happens:

    • In the ribbon toolbar, a new tab called Field Editing appears and is selected, containing an Add Field and a Remove Field button.
    • The Add Field , Remove Field , Move ,Move Up and Move Down buttons appear in the property box.
  2. Adding: To add an item to the list, click Add Field in the property box or in the Field Editing ribbon toolbar tab.

    A new, empty item is added to the list, with its value set to a placeholder such as <add text> for text values, <add number> for numbers, and so on. Set its value as you would any other field of this type.

  3. Removing: To remove an item from the list, select that item and click Remove Field in the property box or in the Field Editing ribbon toolbar tab.
    The value is removed from the list.
  4. Moving: to move an item to a new position in the list, do one of the following:
    • Select that items and click Move. The option remains selected. Click the item you want to move to a new location in the list of items and, holding down the mouse button, drag it there. While you drag it, the item is represented by a small box shape attached to your cursor. Release the mouse button to drop the item in a valid drop location. A prohibition icon appears when you hover over an invalid drop location.
    • Select that item and click Move Up or Move Down in the property box. (It may well be that the values are not arranged vertically, but instead are next to each other. If this is the case, you can move an item to the left with Move Up, and to the right with Move Down.)
    The value is moved to a new position in the list.
