Content blocks
A block is a defined piece of content within the system that can be reused.
A content page is constructed by arranging customized blocks of content on a page. Content blocks are an important part of a CMS site. Existing content such as reports, gauges, and record lists are automatically available as content blocks and more can be created within the CMS.
After defining content blocks, use them on any content page by adding them to drop zones. For more information, see Add content to a page.
