Managing Page Variant Assignments

Managing page variant assignments comprises adding page variants to pages (content/system pages, category pages or product pages, as allowed by the page variant type), and removing these assignments.

Assigning Page Variants to Pages

Generally, there are two ways to explicitly assign an existing page variant to an existing page: either starting from the page variant via the Assignments tab as described below, or starting from the page via the Page Variants tab, see Adding Page Variants to a Page.

To create a page assignment for a page variant:

  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Page Variants.
    This opens the Page Variants list view.
  2. Click the name of the page variant you intend to edit.
    This opens the Content tab of the detail view.
  3. Change to the Assignments tab.
    There is a section for each available page type. The sections with existing assignments are expanded, the others are collapsed.
    Note: The available pages depend on the allowed assignments as defined by the page variant type.
  4. In the corresponding section, click Assign.
    This opens the wizard to assign the current page variant to a page of the selected type.
  5. Select the intended page, and click Next to continue.
  6. Set the visibility period and priority as required, and click Finish.
    The page variant is assigned to the selected page.

Unassigning Page Variants

To remove a page variant's assignment to a page:
  1. Select the management context from the context selection box, then select Content | Page Variants.
    This opens the Page Variants list view.
  2. Click the name of the page variant you intend to edit.
    This opens the Content tab of the detail view.
  3. Change to the Assignments tab.
  4. Select the assignment you intend to remove.
    Select the checkbox of the intended assignment in the corresponding section.
  5. Click Unassign, and confirm the operation.
    The current page variant is unassigned from the selected page.
