C088 - Flexible Full Bleed Card Carousel Loop

The C088 component has multiple instances on the page to divide content into easy to view rows. The component is a carousel with an experience much like you see with streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video. This is also another complex component that requires authoring of the local settings for the Query List. There are also custom bundle entries required for this component to render the CTA labels. All of the content of carousel and the information displayed is driven by CoreMedia Tags. This again allows significant flexibility in usage, but requires that authors are diligent about including all of the necessary tags so that the component shows complete to a visitor. 

There are two sets of entries in the Local Settings that drive behavior on this component. One set of entries allows you to create CTAs that can drive to filtered news search results or to a specific page. The other entries drive the Tags that are seen on the individual cards.

You can have any number of CTAs, although the expectation is 1-3 with one of the CTAs being a "View All". As the values of these CTAs are simply free text, they require individual bundle entries to allow for translation since the Local Settings content is intentionally not translated. These need to be in the bundle in the format newsroom_carousel_cta_title_{Label Value}. The CTAs can be built from a Search Teaser, Page, Teaser or other teasable content type.

There is a requirement to have two entries for the labels that appear at the top and bottom of each card. These are driven by Tags. In the first C088 carousel for the Newsroom which is used for Press Releases, the top Tag (Topic) is a value from "News & Events > Topic" and the bottom label (Subject) is actually driven by any of three different Tag values as these may vary by News Type and include "Product Assets > Brands", "Product Assets > Industry Segment", and "Product Assets > Products". Every value for these tags must be added to a Bundle File similar to the requirement for the filter values of every facet in the onsite search results page. The top label is the Topic and requires a bundle entry with the format newsroom_topic_{Tag Value} for every value that is in the Tag list. The bottom label is the Subject and requires a bundle entry with the format newsroom_subject_{Tag Value} for every value that is in the Tag list. Other C088 instances have Tags defined based on the content being used (eg. Perspectives). Sample values are illustrated on the Bundle Tags under the Newsroom Settings File.

The author instructions have complete details on how to build out the query lists, the component itself, the local settings and the bundle entries.
