Manage Space: Dynamic Properties | Axero Documentation

Dynamic Properties can be used to add content in places throughout a space. Dynamic Properties can also be used to send notifications to everyone in a space and to provide templates for the rich editor.

Another use case for on-premise clients is to use Dynamic Properties when you extend the Axero platform and create your own functionality. In this case, if you have customization settings for your custom software, you can store and access these in the platform database. To extend the platform and add Dynamic Properties in non-Page Builder pages, you must have developers on staff and update the backend code. It's important to note developers will have to reapply Dynamic Properties to backend code files after each upgrade since all application files are overwritten.

Add Dynamic Property

Manage Space: Add Dynamic Properties 

Edit Dynamic Property

1. From the space, click Manage Space > Dynamic Properties.
2. For the dynamic property, click the edit icon.
3. Make changes to the dynamic property.
4. Click Submit.

Delete Dynamic Property

1. From the space, click Manage Space > Dynamic Properties.
2. For the dynamic property, click the delete icon.
3. Click OK.

Note: When you delete an announcement dynamic property, the announcement will no longer appear on the space Announcements page.

Personalized Headers on Space Admin Pages

You can customize the top of space admin pages by adding a personalized header using a dynamic property. To set this up, go to Manage Space > Dynamic Properties, and create a new property in the SpaceDynamicProperties category. Enter SpaceAdminPage as the property name.

In the rich text editor, you can customize the layout using headings, text, or styled HTML blocks. The header will display at the top of the space’s admin page. If the header should appear in multiple spaces, the property must be created and configured individually in each one.

Rich Editor Templates

Use dynamic properties to create document templates to be used in the rich text editor. This allows your site administrator or space administrators to create HTML templates that users can select from a dropdown and insert into the editor. If you create a lot of documents using a uniform layout, this saves you time and effort by creating a standard HTML layout for your template.

Built-In Dynamic Properties

Use a built-in dynamic property to add content to the top or bottom of static pages.

All pages - Announcement

The Announcement dynamic property displays a yellow "Announcement" banner at the top of all pages in the space (excluding Page Builder pages and the Calendar page).

Using an Announcement dynamic property, you can also send a notification to space members. See Manage Space: Add Dynamic Properties for more information about how to configure and send an announcement.
