Dynamic Promo module

A shared dynamic promo can appear in multiple pages. The promo can change over time depending on the sort and filtering criteria you configure.

Note

Dynamic promos display a single promo. If you want to dynamically display more than one promo in a module, use a dynamic list. For details, see Creating a dynamic list.

To create a shared dynamic promo:

In the header, click add.
From the Create list, select Dynamic Promo Module.
Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
Complete your site's workflow and publish the dynamic promo.
