summary

Defines a content-type's summary. A summary is a set of fields intended to be used when content items appear as:

• Relations in other content items

• Teasers on section pages

A summary usually contains a subset of the content-type's ordinary fields. It can, however, also contain fields that are specifically intended for use on the summary.

The content of summary fields can be locally overridden in the relations/teasers that use the content item. That is, when a Content Studio user adds a content item to a section page (for example), she can modify the fields in the teaser without affecting the source content item's fields.

Syntax

<summary>
    ANY-FOREIGN-ELEMENT*
    <field>...</field>*
    <ref-relation-type-group/>*
  </summary>

The following forms of the field element may be used: Complex field, Basic field, Boolean field, URI field, Schedule field, Number field, Link field, Enumeration field, Date field, Inherited field.

Examples

• This example defines a simple summary containing two fields.

  <summary>
    <ui:label>Content Summary</ui:label>
    <field name="title" type="basic" mime-type="text/plain"/>
    <field name="summary" type="basic" mime-type="text/plain"/>
  </summary>
