Content Studio: How do I make content that pages data?

Topic

This article describes how to increment or sequence the supply of data into a data-driven content template created in Content Studio.  Data paging logically organizes and presents the data in ways that are flexible and easily designed for consumption.

Content Studio Data Paging allows users to define the following:

  • The number of data-driven pages to increment.
  • The length of time to keep the pages of data displayed.
  • The behavior when the data is complete.

Data Paging increments through the XML data (JSON) item by item with a single piece of content/template.  This is important because you may not know how many items are in the feed at a given time.  

Environment

  • Product: Content Studio version 3, DMP-8000
  • Component: Data Tools, Data Paging, Data Studio
  • Control System: Show Control System version 3.0.0.9 or later, Data Studio

  • Social Media XML feeds
  • Stock Price Spreadsheets
