In this chapter, we leveraged a new feature of Axure RP 7 called the Repeater widget to simulate a Content Management System (CMS).
What was the first step we took prior to designing our Catalog Repeater?
The first step we took was to perform a Content Inventory. We then decided which content we needed for the Catalog, Category, and Product Detail designs.
How many parts does a Repeater have and what are the parts typically known as?
There are two primary parts to a Repeater: the Repeater Dataset and the Repeater item.
Explain how a Repeater operates.
In its simplest use, a Repeater iterates through the Repeater Dataset dynamically updating Repeater item widgets as specified by the OnitemLoad event.
How many Repeaters did we use for the Catalog, Category, and Product Detail designs and what were the name(s) of the Repeater(s)?
We used a single Repeater on the CMS Repeater master named the CategoryRepeater for the Catalog, Category, and the Product Detail designs.
For the Repeater on the CMS Repeater master, how many columns did the Repeater Dataset have?
We leveraged 17 columns.
How did we group the columns for the Category Repeater's Dataset?
Column 1 was a unique integer to track individual Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) in our CMS
Columns 2–7 were used for the Catalog page
Columns 8–12 were used to update the Repeater item displayed on the Category page
Columns 13–17 were used for the Product Detail pages
Name the widgets on the Repeater item for the Category Repeater.

For the ItemImageRepeater, when an item image is clicked, what Global variables are set prior to showing product details?
ShowDetail, SKU_CrossSell1, SKU_CrossSell2, and SKU_CrossSell3.
When an item Image is clicked, what action defined in the ItemImageClicked case causes the ItemImageRepeater to reload?
The action Toggle Visibility for the SetDetailCrossSellFilters causes the ItemImageRepeater to reload.
