Content Components

Advanced Component Fields

Optional advanced settings for Site Builder components

Overview

Most content components in Site Builder include a small set of advanced fields.

These fields are optional and only needed in specific situations. In many cases, you can leave them unchanged.

Some advanced fields are intended for use by those familiar with web development or custom integrations. If you need assistance, contact WebHelp.

Advanced component fields

Element name	Required	Multiple
Hide component? If checked, the component is hidden without being deleted.	No	No
Break component out of container? Details and Profile Pages only. If checked, the component is displayed wider than the main content area on large screens. Useful for quotes and images.	No	No
Custom attribute Group containing fields for a custom HTML attribute to be added to the component.	No	Yes
Custom attribute name Custom attribute name. Lowercase letters and dashes only.	No	No
Custom attribute value Letters, numbers, dashes, and spaces only. If this is a boolean attribute, enter `true`.	No	No

Using custom attributes

A custom attribute adds extra information to a component's HTML when the page is published.

These attributes are used by developers to support custom JavaScript functionality, analytics tracking, accessibility enhancements, or third-party integrations.

For example, a developer might add a custom attribute like:

Attribute name: data-feature
Attribute value: topics-feed

This would add the following attribute to the component's HTML:

data-feature="topics-feed"

Most content managers will not need to use custom attributes unless instructed to do so by a web developer.
