In Slides, variables refer to a specific item in your project.
For example:
$$days.1.title$$ → title of Day 1
$$days.2.title$$ → title of Day 2
$$days.3.title$$ → title of Day 3
This means that if you want to display several items, you need to prepare a slide for each one you want to display.
Unlike HTML loops, Slides do not automatically repeat the same slide for every item.
Create a slide for each item
Start by designing the slide for the first item. Then, duplicate it and change the number in the variables.
For example, for three days:
Slide 1
$$days.1.title$$
$$days.1.date$$
Slide 2
$$days.2.title$$
$$days.2.date$$
Slide 3
$$days.3.title$$
$$days.3.date$$
The same principle applies to other program items:
Item | Examples |
Days |
|
Accommodations |
|
Steps |
|
Transport |
|
💡 Design the first slide, duplicate it, and then change the item number in all the variables on the duplicated slide.
What if a project has fewer items?
Your template may contain slides for 10 days, while a particular project only has 7.
In this case, use a conditional generation rule so that slides prepared for Days 8, 9 and 10 are not generated.
For example, use:
$$days.8$$
to generate the corresponding block only when Day 8 exists.
🔭 See Use conditional rules in Slides to learn how to generate blocks only when the required information exists.
⚠️A numbered Slides variable retrieves only the specified item. $$days.1.title$$, for example, retrieves Day 1, it does not automatically display all the days.
