Displaying Data Using Content Blocks

In addition to data elements and custom code, you can also use content blocks as an alternative way to display data in a data repeater or in a page data connection. It's particularly useful for displaying field data that's inline with text.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic

Available for purchase in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

Available (with limitations) in: Developer Edition
User Permissions Needed
To build, edit, and manage Site.com sites:

Site.com Publisher User field enabled on the user detail page

AND

Site administrator or designer role assigned at the site level

When the page is open:

  1. Drag a Content Block page element from the Page Elements pane onto the data repeater. Alternatively, if the page has a page data connection, drag the Content Block page element directly onto the page canvas.
  2. Enter the name of the field you want to display using an expression. For example, {!Name}.
    Note
    Note The object's fields are listed first, followed by the fields of all parent objects, which use the format parent_object_name.field_name.
  3. Add any additional expressions or text you require. For example:

    To contact {!Name}, call {!Phone}.

    where {!Name} and {!Phone} are placeholders for the values of the Name and Phone fields of each record.

    You can also use expressions if you're adding a hyperlink to the content block.

  4. Click Save.
