Two variants of the same component

Creating the component, it was clear there are different use case to the same kind of information. It was decided to create two variants. Both use the same fields, but they look a little bit different.

Note that the variant show the fields differently!

Component variant 1: Curriculum

This variant is specifically designed for visualizing degree structure. See the example below for the fields available for the component and and example of them in use. Remember that you can leave some fields empty, and they will not be shown in the final component layout.

  • Only the Curriculum variant shows additional Info text field below the infographic table cells.
  • Use the link field to direct the visitor lower on the page using anchor links.
  • Use blue background colour for the component for degree structure visualization (Select Brand 2 in the Theme field)
  • Note that the cells change size responsively, i.e. the width of the cells scales up or down according to the device and screen or the visitor.
