Parsys Vs iParsys

Paragraph System (parsys)

The paragraph system (parsys) is a compound component that allows authors to add components of different types to a page and contains all other paragraph components. Each paragraph type is represented as a component. The paragraph system itself is also a component, which contains the other paragraph components.

You configure which components users see by making them available to the user in Design mode.

For example, the content of a product page may contain the following:

• An image of the product (in the form of an image or textimage paragraph)
• The product description (as a text paragraph)
• A table with technical data (as a table paragraph)
• A form users fill out (as a forms begin, forms element, and forms end paragraph)

Inheritance Paragraph System (iparsys)

The inherited paragraph system is a paragraph system that also allows you to inherit the created paragraphs from the parent. You add paragraphs to iparsys at for example, /content/geometrixx/en/products and as result, all the subpages of products that also have iparsys with the same name inherit the created paragraphs from the parent. On each level, you can add more paragraphs, which are then inherited by the children pages. You can also cancel paragraph inheritance at a level at any time.

Simply, iparsys is a parsys that inherits it's content from the ancestor pages.

Disable Inheritance

If the checkbox is selected, child pages do not inherit the paragraph of this page.
