Add new configured view
Here are the steps you need to do, if you want to add existing content plugin instance.
-
Execute Add new configured view function.
-
In the newly added table row you should:
-
Select a needed content plugin instance in the dropdown in the View column.
-
Activate the checkbox if the language switcher should be available for the content view in the Language selection column.
-
Select in which panel the content view should be shown in the View position column.
-
-
Additionally in the table you can decide which content view should be selected in the UI application by default – via radio button in the Default column.
-
If needed, you can change the order of the content views with the up and down arrows in right-bottom corner of the table – the content views are shown in the same order in the content view switcher in the UI.
-
Don’t forget to Save configuration.
