Creating a Common Block

In Platform OneEntry, there are several types of blocks — a complete list is provided in the introduction (opens in a new tab).

In this chapter, we will discuss how to create a block of the type "Common block".

1. Creating a Block​

To create a block of the type "Common block", you need to enter the name of the block in the Name field, select "Common block" from the dropdown list in the Type field, and enter a unique a unique identifier that can be used to access the entity in the "Marker" field. After clicking the "Add" button, the block will appear in the blocks table under the "Common block" category.

2. Editing a Block​

To edit a block, you need to click the "Edit" button in the "Actions" column of the blocks table.

Edit

For blocks of the type "Common block", there are four tabs available during editing:

  • Basic data
  • Attributes
  • Linked pages
  • Version History

Basic Data​

The "Basic data" tab contains two input fields: Name and a unique identifier that can be used to access the entity. These parameters of the block can be changed while on the "Basic data" tab.

Attributes​

The "Attributes" tab contains two dropdown lists for selecting a Template (opens in a new tab) and a Set of Attributes (opens in a new tab).

After selecting a set of attributes (opens in a new tab), you need to fill in the values. In our case, this is the attribute "number", which has the type "Integer". We will specify "44" as the value.

Linked Pages​

The "Linked pages" tab contains a search bar for or screens and a tree view list of or screens. This tab is used to link the edited block with or screens. To establish a link, you need to select or screens from the list of or screens. In the screenshot below, the block "new_block" is linked to the or screens "catalog" and "we".
