Layout blocks are used to add content or actions to app tiles. It determines the tile header and icon, and what happens when the tile is tapped. For example, the tile can open an app screen such as a catalog, form, or punch card. Or it can open a pop-up message, QR scanner, call the business, etc.

Preset Layout Blocks

To make things easier, we've created some preset layout blocks for you. The following presets don't need to be created and can be added directly to app tiles.

If no preset exists for what you'd like to do, create it yourself and then add it to a custom screen.

To create a layout block

1. From the Content tab, click Layout and then Layout Blocks. Then click Add Item.
   
   
   
   
2. Set the basic settings for the layout block:

   To display a slider of a catalog's images on a tile, that opens the catalog when tapped: select source-tile and then the catalog (ignore the button action).
