Introduction

The "Blocks" module is designed to create structures that contain sets of attributes. The Platform OneEntry provides users with very flexible tools, and you can use the "Blocks" module as you see fit for your specific case. The main concept of the "Blocks" module is to create reusable entities (blocks) that contain sets of attributes and additional content.

For example, you can create a block called "footer" and use it on all

pages
of your project.

Main Interface Elements​

Allows you to quickly find blocks by name. Enter the block name in the search field and select the desired block from the dropdown list.

2. Block List​

Displays all created blocks. The list of blocks is divided into the following categories:

Basic Types:

  • For a regular block

  • For a block of similar products
  • Product block

Recommendation and Dynamic Types (Wave-2):

  • Cart complement — an addition to the cart
  • Cart similar — similar to items in the cart
  • Wishlist similar — similar to favorites
  • Frequently ordered — often ordered together
  • Trending / Recently viewed / Repeat purchase / Personal recommendations — personalized selections
  • Slider — a slider with display time settings
ℹ️Wave-2 in the dropdown list

All the above-mentioned Wave-2 types are available for selection in the dropdown list of the "Add" button when creating a new block.

The table consists of three columns:

  • Name

  • Marker

  • Actions

In the "Name" column, the name of one of the three block categories is displayed along with a button that expands the list of blocks for each category. After opening the list for a category, you will see the total number of blocks in that category and a list of their names. In the "Marker" column, the unique

Marker
of each block is displayed. In the "Actions" column, the actions available for each block are shown:

Edit Edit - opens the block editing page

Delete Delete - removes the created block

3. Block Creation Form​

The block creation form contains three input fields:

  • Name - a required field where you must enter the block name;
  • Type - a dropdown list where you must select the block type;
  • Marker - a required field where you must enter a unique
    Marker
    for the block (only Latin letters and the symbols "_" and "-" are allowed for input);

4. General Tools for Wave-2 Blocks​

All Wave-2 block settings screens are built on a common template and use shared tools:

  • Audience Filter — a separate audience editor for the block: cascading selectors "attribute set → attribute → operator → value → categories".
  • Preview Modal — a modal with a preview of the block result: Basic tab (products returned by the API) and Investigate tab (debug diagnostics).
  • HelpHint (icon ⓘ) — a single tooltip component. Next to each key block setting, there is an icon ⓘ — click it to open a detailed explanation with examples and recommendations. The tooltip opens on click (not on hover) — the text does not close accidentally if the mouse is moved away.
