Connected Data Updates

Web Wisconsin Digital Marketing and Design • Oct 03, 2019

Inline Connected Data 
Inline Binding is the newest way to save time and improve accuracy with Connected Data. In addition to connecting entire widgets to data in the Content Library, you can now connect portions of text (a company name or description, for example) within a larger section of text that isn’t connected. This gives more design flexibility for the data you’ve connected as it can be styled along with the unconnected text.

While entering content in a text widget, type {{{ to open the Connected Data popup. From here, select the label of the data you want to insert. When you close the text widget, the data will appear as part of the regular text.



Content Collection Form: Connected Data 
Web Wisconsin's Content Collection Forms enable you to create galleries and image lists and connect them to the photo gallery, image slider and list widgets using Connected Data. Until now, connected fields in collections were images, titles and descriptions. Now, collections are expanded to include links, link text and image alt text.

These changes enable you to create richer collections with great functionality, quickly and easily. 
Use this capability to build:
  • Staff or team member lists
  • Location lists
  • Portfolios
  • Service lists
  • And more

Custom Widgets: Connected Data 
Keep more site content automatically synced and accurate with the latest custom widget update - Connected Data in custom widgets. This new capability enables you to bind fields such as images and text in your custom widgets with data in your Content Library so these elements automatically update. This enables you to keep sites up to date without any effort at all. 

Connected Data is available in both simple fields (such as Text and Images) as well as more complex ones (such as List and Image in List). Simply decide which fields you want to connect in the widget and then bind those fields to the right place in your Content Library.


Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Connected Data 
Web Wisconsin's Connect Data was expanded and now supports pages SEO. You can connect the Page Title and Page Description to relevant fields in the Content Library from the page SEO screen. By connecting these fields, you enable automatic syncing when these fields are updated, saving you time in optimizing your site performance.

To get started with this new capability, open any page SEO settings and click on the Connect to data link under the SEO Title and SEO Description fields, and choose the relevant connection from the dropdown that appears.   

Boost Productivity with Connected SEO

This new capability can improve your productivity in several ways:
  • Make SEO optimization automatic for customers building instant websites.
  • Enable you to keep SEO settings when resetting a site while keeping data.
  • Save you time when you build new sites.
