C087 - Trending News Grid

The C087 component sits at the top of the content area below the search bar and hero. This allows up to 6 news items to be highlighted. It is driven by anywhere from 1 to 6 query lists. The configuration of this component is somewhat complex which gives it significant flexibility in many other use cases on the website. Three of the six items have images with a heading label and body text while the other three items have just a heading label and body text. These link to the referenced page. This component requires custom bundle entries in order to display the headings on each item and translate those values. 

For the Newsroom, the C087 is configured to highlight two articles each from Corporate, Automation Solutions and Commercial & Residential Solutions. This is done through three query lists that pull the content based on Tags. Each platform gets one placement with an image and one placement with just text. The component has logic built in to make sure the same article does not appear twice as could happen if the article has tags that match two or more of the query lists criteria. The author instructions have complete details on how to build out the query lists, the component itself, the local settings and the bundle entries.
