Attachment List module

An attachment list module allows you to collect attachments into a list module. There are two types of attachment list modules: advanced (the list's assets do not change) and dynamic (the list's assets change based on selection criteria).

For a wire frame example of what this content type can look like on your site, see Attachment List module design.

To create an attachment list module:

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

Each option also allows you to define Name and Value attributes, the latter of which appends an additional parameter to the URL (for example, if you input `Brightspot Home Page`. into the Value field, appends `Title="Brightspot Home Page"` to the URL of the external link specified in the call to action).
