Use Data Backbone

The Data Backbone of a project is always available in Master Templates, Text Blocks, Forms, and Content Wizards.

Every Content Wizard has the Data Backbone pane. This pane gives the Content Wizard Editor information on the structure of the data and Fields that are available on a certain level in the Data Backbone. In the Content Wizard, you can drag the Data Backbone elements to the Content Wizard pane and combine them with Text Blocks. If the Data Backbone element is repetitive, all Text Blocks on that location are repeated in the result document. The repetitions are dependent on the number of occurrences of the Data Backbone element.

The Text Blocks used in a Content Wizard that uses a Data Backbone may also include Fields to add variable data to the document. If such a Text Block is added to a repetitive part of the Content Wizard, KCM replaces these Fields with the correct data at the moment the result document is composed.
