Summary Templates

Summaries are a good way to direct visitors to the content they are looking for. Summaries allow you to easily create a preview of content available on another page of your site which visitors can click to find out more (like the text you're currently reading!).

This section of instructions will cover the different types of Summaries you can add to a page via Tridion, how to create them, and how to add them.

Table of Contents

Content Summaries

By using a Content Summary Template, you can include a brief introductory paragraph from one component or page and feature the same component in full on a separate page.

Summary Lists

Summary List templates are excellent options for providing visitors with brief overviews of content on other pages through using a more "designed" element on your page.

External Link Summaries

You can use an External Link Summary component to feature a prominent link to an external website (another YSM website or anywhere else on the web) with a short text introduction and link.
