Content Studio: How do I make content that pages data?

Topic

This article outlines the process of incrementing or sequencing data supply into a data-driven content template within Content Studio. Data paging arranges and displays the data flexibly and in a format that's easy to consume.

Content Studio Data Paging enables users to specify:

  • The increment of data-driven pages.
  • The duration for displaying data pages.
  • The action to take upon completion of the data.

Data Paging progresses item by item through the XML (JSON) data with a single content/template. This is crucial as the number of items in the feed may be unknown at any time.

Environment

  • Product: Content Studio version 3, DMP-8000
  • Component: Data Tools, Data Paging, Data Studio
  • Control System: Show Control System version 3.0.0.9 or later, Data Studio
