Once you have built your Master Design Template, created a Data Feed, and uploaded the Data Feed, you will need to connect the elements of your master design to the Data Feed. Connecting an element in your design to a data feed will change the element into a Dynamic Design Element.


In a given design, you can link one feed for use in Automated Variation Creation. Dynamic Design Elements can be created as Image, Text, or Global Asset Elements. Learn more about Global Assets.

Creating Dynamic Design Images


To convert an image on your Master Design template to a Dynamic Design Image; 

  • Select the image element you'd like to convert to a dynamic image element 
  • Open the Image Settings panel on the left-hand side of the editor 
  • At the bottom of the Image Settings panel, switch the Dynamic Design Image toggle to ON.

 

After turning Dynamic Design Image ON, you can access the Feed and Column dropdowns at the top of the panel. You should first select the Feed for the design. 


After setting the feed, choose the Column of the design. The element will update and display the image from the first row of your feed.


Creating Dynamic Design Text


To convert a text element on your Master Design template to Dynamic Design Text;

  • Select the text box you'd like to convert to a dynamic text element
  • Open the Text Settings panel on the left-hand side of the editor
  • Scroll to the bottom of the panel and switch the Dynamic Design Text toggle to ON.



After turning Dynamic Design Text ON, you can access the Feed and Column dropdowns. You should first select a Feed for the design. 


After setting the feed, choose the Column of the design. The text box will update and display the text from the first row of your feed.



To change your text back to a standard text element, scroll to the bottom of the panel and toggle the Dynamic Design Text option to OFF. This option is useful if you need to edit the text copy in an automated variation.


Creating Dynamic Design Global Assets


To convert a Global Asset element on your Master Design template to a Dynamic Design Asset; 

  • Select the Global Asset you'd like to convert 
  • Open the Global Assets Settings panel on the left-hand side of the editor
