Using Placeholders of Customer Store

A Placeholder is a container for a specific data type and it allows inserting data or interface elements in UI Templates. Using Placeholders simplifies the content management of the Customer Sore pages (see Managing Information and Auto-generated Pages UI Templates).

By the application area, Placeholders are divided into two classes:

• Global Placeholders that can be used in all UI Templates.
• Local Placeholders that can be used only in a specific UI Template.

By the data type, Placeholders are divided into the following classes:

• Placeholders for insertion of metadata, styles, and scripts
• Placeholders for insertion of navigation elements (Menu)
• Placeholders for insertion of Reseller information
• Placeholders for insertion of Product information in the Catalog page
• Placeholders for insertion of Product information in the Category page
• Placeholders for insertion of Product information in the Product page
