Inserting a Snippet
Instructions:
Follow these directions to insert a a snippet in a page in Omni CMS:
- From an editable region on the page, click the insert snippet button on the edit toolbar.
- The snippets window is displayed. Click the insert button after you select the desired
snippet among the snippets available.
Editing a Snippet
What you should know:
Once the Snippet is inserted on the page, it appears as a table, and you edit certain cells with your content. Typically, each row in the table represents an item in the snippet.
For example, in the Accordion snippet, each row creates a separate accordion item. Other snippets work in a similar fashion
where each row creates a new item.
Rows are highlighted in yellow.
Adding or Deleting a Row:
Instructions:
- Right click the row where you either want to add a new row or delete.
- To add a new row, choose either Insert row before or Insert row after.
To copy a row including its contents, right click in the selected row, select Row > Copy row. Then right click again and choose Row > Paste row before or after
Alternate Method:
Alternatively, you can add or delete a new row by selecting either option in the table
menu that appears either above or below the table when the cursor is inside the selected
row.
Tips for Editing Tables:
There are a few notes to watch out for when using Editable Tables.
- Be careful not to unintentionally delete certain parts of the table. For example, if you backspace too many times, you may end up deleting a part of the
table, rather than just the text you need to edit.
- Watch out for extra spaces. They're sneaky, so make sure they don't creep up where you don't want them. Consistency is
the key!
- For rows that have special formatting, be sure to use the Row > Copy and Row > Paste functions so that you successfully
bring over the existing formatting to the new row that you are creating.
- To add an empty row, place your cursor in the last cell and hit the Tab key. If you want to delete a row or column, select the entire area and right click then select "Delete" row or
column.
Deleting a Snippet

Alternate Method:
Alternatively, you can select the Delete table option from the table menu that appears
