Entering basic data

1.Call the entries Mailings and Content Manager in the navigation bar and then click on the tab Module Types. OpenEMM now lists an overview of all available module types. To add a new module type, click on the New module type.

3.In the input field Name, give the module type a meaningful title. This designation appears later in the overview list in which you select a module type. Later work is considerably simplified when you assign a clear name.
4.In the input field Description, enter the information on the module type as exactly as possible. The text should consist of one or two sentences and briefly describe the function of the module type. This is particularly useful when someone else edits the module type. The task of the module type should be clearly recognizable from the description.
5.In the Content box now enter the text building blocks that are to be used by your module type. Please note that, just as for the templates, you can use additional AGNITAS tags to make the module type even more flexible. An example will help to make this clear.
With the following code that consists exclusively of AGNITAS tags, you create a module type with four placeholders consisting of one each for a graphic, a header, a text and a web link consisting of URL and designation.
