Component

Crystallize is designed for you to tailor-make the shapes of your product information and structured content documents. Components are the building blocks for content modeling.

Use the links below to read about each component in detail:

• Single Line
• Numeric
• Rich Text
• Paragraph Collection
• Image
• Video
• Semantic Item Relation
• Grid Relation
• Switch
• Date
• Properties Table
• Location
• Selection
• File

Within the Crystallize App, adding a component to a shape is as simple as clicking on the component name or dragging and dropping it onto the shape. Components can be reordered and deleted as necessary. Any such changes, once published, will affect every item based on that particular shape.

Every component has an identifier that can be used to reference it within a programmatic context. The identifier may be different from the component's name. In the Crystallize App, you can hover your mouse over a component’s name to reveal its identifier. There’s also a button that will copy the identifier string to your clipboard.
