Modules are grouped into two three categories: Rotators, grids, and lists.

Rotators scroll horizontally to show many items in a single row. They’re best for fitting a lot of content into a small vertical space. Grids show items in a grid pattern. They’re best for making sure items are always visible on the pagethe page. Lists display a large collection of content.

Follow these suggestions to select a specific module based on your content:

To list exhibitors, courses, or on-demand content…

Lists

Lists
Lists

A list is a special page type that has an infinite-scroll grid at the bottom of the page and an optional search bar. Any other rotators or grids can be added above the list and search bar, but none can be added below it.

If you have 20+ items to display in a grid, a list is the best choice. It helps the page load more quickly because items load over time instead of all at once.

List page
Anchor
List-page
List-page

This grid list displays an infinite number of items that load as you scroll down the page. It can have 2-5 columns. Above it, you can include a search bar and filter options. Any other rotators or grid can be added above the list and search bar, but none can be added below it.

We recommend using this grid a list to display all of a specific content type. For example, on your Courses page, you could make all courses searchable.
