Notes:

The key to dynamic data organization is consistency and forethought. The Automation Name values you assign in Chameleon for your dynamic fields and groups must match any external data feed's parser configuration for data automation. An external parser requires both the group's automation name and the field's automation name to correctly populate the correct dynamic field in your hierarchy so that it appears correctly in the Chameleon content module with the correct Display Name label.

You can make your dynamic fields freely available in Chameleon, or you can specify which content group your dynamic fields are available to in Chameleon. See the topic on Content Groupsfor details.

Add a Dynamic Field Group

  1. Click the ➕ Add Group button.

  2. Enter group information:
    Display Name - the display label you want to see displayed in Chameleon for this dynamic field group when you are viewing it in a Chameleon content module.
    Name - used both for

    incoming

    data feed parsing and in graphics to associate the tag with an object in the scene.
    Default Module - the type of data that will typically use this group. Eg. Stories. This is also used to automatically filter the available fields in the dynamic field editor for quick access to the most relevant dynamic fields for the content at hand.
    Content Group - this is the same content grouping feature used throughout Chameleon to organize your content and provide access to users appropriately.
