1

Filtered Article List Options

Gives you access to item-specific settings for the articles title, description, image, and link.

2

Content Filter Rules

Sets the content filter rules for the module.

1. The Filtered Article List gives you access to item-specific settings including:

   • Tab Label - By default, the article title is used as the tab label, though you can change it using this option.
   • Description - Allows you to set a description for the item. If this is left at Default the introtext from the article is used.
   • Icon - This allows you to set an icon (generally a small, squared image) which will be placed next to the article title in the module.
   • Link - If set, the link will show a Read More button as well as link the title. This is the article introtext by default.

2. The Content Filter Rules section gives you the ability to determine how the module will pull content to make up the items. For example, you can have the module pull articles that are within a specific category, contain a particular name or keyword in the title, or choose specific articles. You can also modify how this content is sorted in the module.

Below the Content Filter Rules section are two options areas specific to the layout mode you have chosen. We have broken down the Tabs Layout Options and Tabs Article Defaults sections below.
