Interactive Elements in the Layout Builder

The Layout Builder lets users create designs with multiple content types all sharing the same screen space by placing multiple Elements together.

Elements are drag-and-drop content types that can be configured for various use cases.
Some Elements are interactive or allow interactivity through their normal behavior.

Quick Actions in the Layout Builder for User Interactivity

Quick Actions allows designers to embed interactive logic and macros into any Layout.
This is done using the UI to select an element, configure a trigger, and then the desired response.

This interactivity is done by applying instructions to elements that already exist in a Layout without changing to a whole new layout.

Common Use Cases of Quick Actions:

• Toggling visibility of a set message or element

• Sending a command to an element like Playlist or Carousel to change which item is displaying

• Refresh Data

• Trigger animations

For more details on how to configure a Quick Action see the Quick Actions for Interactivity in a Layout or Message

Data Triggers for Automated Reactions

Data Triggers allow designers to embed reactive logic into any Layout controlled dynamically by the information provided in a Data Integration.
This is done using the UI to select an element, configure a Data Trigger, and then the desired response.

This type of change does not require any direct user action, but is programmed into the Layout to interact with your stream of data

Common Use Cases of Data Triggers:

• Changing formatting of text to draw attention to KPI values

• Toggling visibility of a set message or element to drive specific actions

For more details on how to configure a Data Trigger see Data Triggers to have Real Time Data Effect Layout Elements
