Macros

In Brand Toolbox, ‘macros’ are small building blocks of functionality that can be dropped into an editor.

  A macro can be anything from a page contents sub list to an asset download container. The advantage of a macro is that it gives editors the ability to add complex elements to the page in a simple manner.

There are only four macros used across the Brand Toolbox Brand and Digital Asset Management solution. Each is described below:

 

Asset Downloads

The Asset Downloads macro is used to add individual documents (assets) to a page for download.

The procedure for this is further explained on the Add a document download to individual pages page.

 

Asset Folder Downloads

Like the ‘Asset Downloads’ macro, the Asset Folder Downloads macro allows you to add downloads to a page but, instead, you select an asset folder containing multiple other asset folders — and they are displayed in a 3 column grid across the page.

 

Contents Page Sub List

The Contents Page Sub List macro enables you to add a Table of Contents listing the published child pages of the page you are adding the macro to.

Prior to 1 August 2024^, there were no options available on this macro (e.g. adding the macro created a contents page sub list in “Z scan” order). However, the macro now allows you to choose between two options:

Z scan (row): Items run left to right, row by row (default – Toggle: OFF).

Vertical scan (column): Items run vertically down column 1, then vertically down column 2 (Toggle: ON).

^ Note: Any macros added before 1 Aug 2024 will inherit the default “Z scan” layout. To change the default option from “Z scan” to “Vertical scan”, select the existing “Contents Page Sub List” macro and toggle it ON.

 

Video

The Video macro allows you to embed a video for on-page video playback.

 

Note: The following macros are NOT to be inserted into page content via the rich text editor:
