Get to know the content model
The content model in XP with parts is the fundament with which we create the editor experience. It consists of only two different page types, multiple content types, parts, fragments and x-data.
Content types
At the very core of the editor experience is the various content types:
- Our two different Page types
- FAQs and FAQ groups
- Products, product groups and features
- Navigation, toplevels, sublevels and footer navigation groups
- Videos (via Qbrick or YouTube)
- Links (external URLs and anchors)
- Applications (relative URLs to apps)
- Charts (used to create diagrams for the Infographics part)
- Categories and Events (used for Feed and Archive)
- Documents (PDFs and spreadsheets)
- System messages
These are collections of pre-made data fetched by parts, so that you may create certain contents only once, maintain it in one place, use it on several pages and tailor the context around it on each page.
X-data
All content types have lots of useful configuration and metadata for your new page in its left-side menu:
- Teaser Content
- SEO
- Search Meta
- Add to Feed and Archive
- Article Options
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: Question
FAQ: Question allows you to create common questions and their answers.
FAQ: Group
In order to display FAQs in the FAQ part, you must select one or more FAQ: Groups. These are collections of FAQ: Questions related to the same topic.
Structured data
The FAQ content types are tagged as questions with answers, so that search engines can recognise them as such.
Products
Typically, product information is carefully written in collaboration with specialists, and we tend to give the same information on several pages. Therefore, we create and maintain the basic product information in one place, and fetch these ready-made texts in the parts.
Products are built with three content types:
- Product
- Product Group
- Product Feature
To display them on our websites, we use the following parts:
- Product Action List
- Product Cards
- Product Buttons
- Product Overview
- Product Group Table

System messages
We use the content type system messages to add a global or local message to our users, typically when some of our solutions are failing or unstable. There are three different variants depending on your message:
- Information
- Warning (default)
- Error
Fragments and templates
You don't always have to start from scratch!
If you have certain parts that will be used on several pages, you should consider turning them into Fragments.
Some pages use the same structure and sometimes even the same content. For these cases, it may save you some time to make use of Templates.
Parts
We use parts to fill our websites with content and design. There are 31 parts available to cover a multitude of needs.
