Answer:
A divider is a horizontal line that can be placed between rows to divide your template into separate sections of rows.
Adding a divider to a template
- From the Templates screen in Act! Marketing Automation, open the template you wish to add a divider to
- From the Content tab, click and drag the Divider content block over the template layout
Note: A thick blue line with the words “Drag it here” will appear when you have dragged it over a place where you are able to drop it.
- Drop the divider in the desired location
- Click the Save button
Editing divider content properties
Content properties for dividers allow you to configure settings for the appearance of the divider block. To change these:
- In the template editor, click the divider block you wish to edit properties for
- In the Content tab on the right, configure the properties as desired, then click Save
The following options are available:
-
Content Properties:
- Transparent: If enabled, makes the horizontal line invisible so it just appears to be extra space between the rows
- Height: If Transparent is enabled, allows you to define how tall the transparent space is between the rows
- Line: If Transparent is not enabled, this allows you to define the line as Solid, Dotted, or Dashed. Additionally, this allows you to configure the thickness and color of the line
- Width: If Transparent is not enabled, this allows you to define the width of the line
- Align: If the line width is less than 100, this allows you to align the positioning to the left, center, or right side of the template
-
Block options:
- Padding: Allows you to set the amount of space between the edges of the row and the edges of the divider. This can be done proportionally on all sides at one time, or the padding for each side can be changed individually by ensuring that the “More options” setting is selected
- Hide on Mobile: Allows you to keep this divider from appearing when your template is viewed on a mobile device
