You can create a template for each of the "non full" View mode. These are typically used for lists where the content isn't viewed on its own page in full. For more information on View modes see Understanding view modes.

Create a 'non full' content template

There are three steps to creating a content template.

Step 1 - Choose an entity bundle view mode to template

The first step is to select what you're going to make a template for. For example, the Article teaser content type. 

• Navigate to Site Studio > Templates > Content templates
• For Content types and this example click on Content type
• Click on one of the Accordions to open the list of template options for that Content type
• Locate the teaser view mode template.
• Click Create in the Operations column.

Step 2 - Layout your template

Layout your template using the Layout canvas. For more information, see Using the layout canvas to create components and templates.

Step 3 - Connect your template fields to your content type fields

Once you've created your template layout, you can connect it to fields within your content type so that it uses real content provided within your Content type rather than the dummy content you added when building your layout.

The process of linking your layout to fields is the same when creating any type of template using Site Studio. For that reason, it's been described on a separate page, see Connecting your templates to fields.

Creating templates for other view modes

You can create a template for each of the "non full" View mode. These are typically used for lists where the content isn't viewed on its own page in full. For more information on View modes see Understanding view modes.
