Snippets

Advantage CSP is a powerful and dynamic content management system that allows users to go beyond generic templates. Instead, users can create their pages with custom fields. Structured documents allow you to separate content (data) and design. It also enables content re-use on other site sections or other websites with different layouts.

Ultimately this speeds up day-to-day page management and the creation of complex content types and allows for business users with limited technical skills to be self-sufficient when managing their website and application.

Snippets are small pieces of HTML code that have been predefined so that users can add specific re-usable content functionality to pages or modules.
