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 will be used in your scene templates.

Optionally group names can match an 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.
