Prerequisites

  • If you have not installed Mobile Fusion or are not currently using the Template Kit, contact customer support to get Mobile Fusion with the Template kit.
  • Template Kit describes paragraphs, setup and configuration of the Template Kit, including mobile options.
  • Mobile Fusion describes design options for the mobile layout of newsletters.

What does the Template Kit with Mobile Fusion offer?

  • Enable or disable mobile version. If you enable the mobile version, Optimizely Campaign automatically generates a version of your mailing optimized for mobile devices; this increases the size of each emailing. See General settings.
  • Place the sidebar above/below the main body. In each paragraph, you can indicate whether to display the sidebar (if present) before or after the main body. See Grouping paragraphs.
  • Hide/display paragraphs in the mobile version. You can indicate, by paragraph, whether to integrate that paragraph into the mobile version. You can also indicate if a paragraph should appear in the mobile version only. See Content paragraphs.
  • Set paragraph width in the mobile version. You can set the width of each paragraph (in %) for mobile display. See Content paragraphs.
  • Set the width of paragraph separation in the mobile version. You can set the width of the paragraph separators (in %) in the general settings for the template. See General settings.
