Configuring a Row

To configure a row click on the edit icon in the top right of the row, once the modal (window/lightbox) opens you can configure the following attributes:

• Number of columns.
  • Columns default to equal widths this can be adjusted in the block settings for each column.
• CSS margin and padding around the row.
• Background and foreground colours can be selected from the themes colours.
• CSS Classes can be added to the row that your theme can target.

Block Types

Each block type has its own specific configuration options, but all blocks have the following common options:

• Column width can be used when you have multiple columns in a row which you want to have differing widths.
  • The column widths across all the blocks in a row should add up to 100 to ensure correct spacing.
• Vertical alignment controls the vertical-align CSS property of the block.
• Padding can be set around the block.
• CSS classes can be added to the block.

Image

You can select any image from your image gallery for use in this block, note when rendering the email the medium version of the image will be used which has a maximum size of 600 by 600 pixels. Other configurable options are:

• Image URL when used sets the image to be a clickable link.
• Image description sets the alt text of the image, if none is set an automated alt text will be used.
• Image width and height can be used to reduce the size of the image within the email.

Text

Use this block type to display text using the same editor as you use when editing a text block on the careers site. The only difference is that images can not be added to an email text block.

Jobs List

Use this block to display a list of jobs, each job in the list will include the title, location, summary and a link. If you wish to hide any of these it can be done using CSS in the email theme. The number of jobs included in the list can be set and there are three options for the source of the jobs. 

Jobs automatically recommended to the candidate

These are jobs based on that individual candidate's previous behaviour. If a candidate has never viewed a job the latest jobs will be used.

Job alerts that the candidate has signed up to

These are new jobs which are relevant to a candidate based on their Job Alert sign up details. Note this should only be added to job alert emails if used in any other type of email nothing will be rendered in the list
