Snippets
When you want a piece of information to show up in multiple pages of the website, create it as a snippet. Then you can change it once and it will automatically update wherever it appears.
Creating a snippet
-
Insert a new snippet: Go to Global > Shared content > Snippets. Insert a new snippet.
-
Name your snippet: Use a keyword that will jump out clearly in the long list of snippets you'll see in the drop-down when you click "insert a snippet" on a page. All snippets for the Medicare section should begin with the word "medicare," for example. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ADD HYPHENS OR UNDERLINES BETWEEN WORDS IN THE NAME.
-
Format your snippet:
HTML rule: A snippet must contain HTML tags or Sitecore will automatically add <p> and </p> tags to it.
If you want your snippet to be part of a sentence, like the "600,000" in "Priority Health has more than 600,000 members" add <span> before the 600,000 and </span> after it.
Example: <span>600,000</span>
Placing a snippet
On the page, if your snippet is a paragraph, insert it between paragraphs.
If your snippet is part of a sentence, insert it immediately after the preceding word (no space), then leave a space after it.
