How to use the CMS Item element

CMS items are another basic building block for CMS projects.

They are designed to display the data from only a single item from an imported collection.

They can be found by default in CMS Details pages, but they can also be added to non-cms pages.

Adding a CMS item to a project

CMS items can be used both in CMS pages and regular non-cms pages.

To add a CMS item to a project:

Go to the Left panel -> Elements tab -> CMS section
Drag the CMS Item element to a page
Go to the Right panel -> Collection Item Settings
Select a Source from one of the collections that you imported
In the id field, add the item’s ID from the CMS or set it up dynamically

The ID for a CMS item can also be set dynamically if the Item is part of a CMS list.

The sources available to set up the Item will be the collections imported when establishing the CMS connection.

Adding elements to CMS items

To add new elements to a CMS list item:

From the Left panel -> Elements
Drag any element to the Success layer of the CMS Item
Select the element
Go to the Right panel
Click on the Bind property icon to bind dynamic data to the element
