Dynamic View
Table of Contents
The Dynamic View field allows relating content to other content based on metadata or other criteria, for example, relating content with the same document number, or relating content with the same product number, or the same event. This is especially useful for creating language versions of documents, product packages, or other content collections. Related content items can be downloaded or placed in the basket for further processing, e.g., editing or sharing.
Dynamic View overview
| Icon | |
| Behavior | A read-only field. The administrator who creates the field defines the search criteria, e.g., product id=123. The field will then show all Content Items that match this search criteria. Content that is not permitted to be viewed will be greyed out. Related content items can be downloaded or placed in the basket for further processing, e.g., editing or sharing. The dynamic view shows the item in a light version of the Content Browser, with a list and thumbnail view. Everything from the liquid syntax is supported in this filter, including loops, variables, etc. You cannot edit the field in single or batch edit mode. |

Batch Actions: Download all related Content Items Add all related Content Items to basket |
Related content items can be downloaded all together or placed all together into the basket, for further processing e.g. for editing or sharing. Additionally, each individual item can be downloaded directly or added to the basket. The Download is only available in the single-item or batch-edit mode, not in batch mode. The dynamic view shows the item in a light version of the Content Browser, with a list and thumbnail view. Everything from the liquid syntax is supported in this filter, including loops, variables, etc. |
| Limitation |

| Display & Handling | The dynamic view shows item in a light version of the Content Browser, with list and thumbnail view. The elements can be rearranged. Everything from the liquid syntax is supported in this filter, including loops, variables, etc., if you have edit permissions on the Content Item and view permissions on the related Content Items. |
| Liquid Syntax | Everything from the liquid syntax is supported in this filter including loops, variables etc. |
| Permissions |
Inside a relationship field, the Content Item permissions apply. For example, if you have a user that cannot view a Content Item in a relationship field he will get this view: ![]() However, double-clicking that field will allow him to view the relationship details when the layer is visible, thanks to the "view for all" permission on the relationship schema. ![]() |
Dynamic View value handling
This is just a view; no values can be extracted from business rules or from any time display patterns.
