Frequently Asked Questions

The Image Fact Grid displays up to three facts. It is recommended that you not include Link Description text if adding a link.

A fact is a special component located in the site’s Data > Facts Folder or in the Shared Sites > Global Facts Folder.

To work properly, an Image Fact Grid at minimum needs a background image set for desktop view and at least one fact added to the component.

Websites may display one, two or three facts in an Image Fact Grid.
