Property syntax of content page object
Property Type Default Value Mandatory Since Version Description

Indicates if the content page is displayed. This property can be used to temporarily remove pages.

important boolean false No 0.1.110

Indicates if the content page is important. If this property is set to true, a corresponding overlay/underlay page is hidden if the content page is active. If the content page is displayed as overlay/underlay page and this property is set to true, the page will never be hidden.

wrap boolean false No 0.1.102

Indicates if the content page is wrapped. If this property is set to true, a corresponding menu can not be entered by using the navigation keys (i.e. left and right key). This property has no effect if the content is displayed in a panel, the content is not loaded via a menu, the content page is not the first or last one (if the content type is "pages"), or the content page is displayed as overlay/underlay page.

transparent boolean false No 0.1.120

Indicates if the content background is transparent for this page. By default, the content background is set to a semi-transparent gray to darken the underlying video/image and make the content more visible. This property has no effect if the content is displayed in a panel or the content page is displayed as overlay/underlay page.

compress boolean true No 0.1.123

Indicates if font size adjustments are performed when the content is compressed.

Note: This property is ignored if the content root object has not set the compress property to true..

This property is part of the hidden features. For more information, please see Compress Property.

headline string null No 0.1.0

This property supports inline expressions. For more information, please see Inline Expressions.

offset string null No 0.1.0

The offset of the content page in format "x,y,w,h". This property can be used to add or subtract an offset.

The x value can go from -11.0 to 11.0 (or from -7.0 to 7.0 for panels).

The w value can go from -11.0 to 11.0 (or from -7.0 to 7.0 for panels).
