Content fragments allow you to save and reuse specific input fields, content blocks, and sections across your Act-On Forms. If you frequently use the same content block or section in multiple Forms, save it as a content fragment in the Forms Composer and add that fragment to any Form you'd like. This helps you ensure that your Forms, form fields, and list data stay consistent.

Example Scenario: Forms capture contacts' addresses via four fields: Street Address, Suite Number, State, and Country. Instead of manually entering these address fields on every Form, you can create a content fragment for a section with all four fields to save time.

Instructions

Download Fragment Templates from the Content Catalog

Act-On's Content Catalog has several ready-to-use content fragment templates that you can download and insert into your Forms.

1. Go to Content > Catalog.
2. Go to the Content Fragments tab to find our selection of fragment templates.
   
3. Click any fragment to preview it (you can preview in desktop and mobile view).

Save New Fragments in the Forms Composer

Create a Content Block Fragment

You can easily save any input field or content block as a content fragment in the Forms Composer. To do this:

1. Go to the Design tab.
2. Click on the input field or form block you'd like to use as a content fragment.
3. Click Save Fragment to save it as a content fragment:
   
4. Enter a Fragment Name and select a Folder to store your content fragment.
5. Click Save.

Your new content fragment will now appear in Content > Content Fragments and can be reused in any Form.

Create a Saved Section

Save an entire section of content blocks in the Forms Composer as one fragment to reuse across your Act-On Forms. In the below example, we'll save a Form section with multiple fields, First Name, Last Name, and Email, as a single content fragment.

To create a content fragment from a Form section:

1. Go to the Design tab.
2. Hover over the section you'd like to use as a fragment and click Section Settings.  
   
3. Click Save Fragment.
4. Enter a Fragment Name and select a Folder to store your content fragment.
5. Click Save.

You'll find your new section fragment in Content > Content Fragments.

FAQs

Why can't I see all of my content fragments?

If you don't see all of your content fragments on the Content > Content Fragments page, you may have a Fragment Type filter (on the left) enabled to only display Sections or Blocks. Simply click on the radio button to turn off the fragment type filter to see all fragments.
