Layouts
As a plugin developer, you customize the new/edit plugin instance screens with a layout JSON file. You can group properties into categories and choose the type of field representing each of them.
It is optional, except for audience segment feeds. A default layout is used to show all properties of a plugin version (Note that there is no layout file associated to this default layout).
A plugin layout is composed of:
- 1.A layout JSON file
- 2.A non-empty list of translation CSV files
This file declares the different elements of the configuration UI.

Attribute | Type | Description |
version | a string | the version of the layout |
sections | ||
metadata |
Attribute | Type | Description |
title | a string | the section title |
sub_title | a string | the section subtitle |
fields | ||
advanced_fields | it defines the advanced fields of the section, which can be graphically expanded or not (see below for the Definition) |
Attribute | Type | Description |
property_technical_name | a string | the technical name of the property represented by the field |
field_type | a field type string enum | |
label | a string | the label preceding the field type, on its left in the form |
tooltip | a string (optional) | the help text displayed in the tooltip following the field type, on its right in the form |
enum | an enum describing the possible values of the field (used by some field types : SELECT, MULTI_SELECT, SWITCH, RADIO, CHECKBOX) (see below for the Definition) | |
max_length | an integer (optional) | a maximum length of the text in the field type; used only in the case TEXTAREA |
required | a boolean (optional) | it defines whether the field is mandatory or not; if the value is not specified, then it isn't (the default value is false) |
The possible field types are the following:
- TEXTAREA

label | a string | the label of the enum, which will be displayed in the field |
Attribute | Type | Description |
large_icon_asset_id | an integer | the asset id of the large icon representing the plugin layout |

display_name | a string | the plugin version's name (visible in the plugin listing and the form page) |
description | a string | a description of the plugin version (visible in the plugin listing and the form page) |
Note that the assets must belong to the same organisation than the plugin.
Translation csv files are used to support localization. Given a layout json file, for each locale, a translation csv file can be provided. The plugin developer can refer to a value in the layout json file by surrounding the value name with double curly brackets (hence, referring to value val is done with
{{val}} in the json file). Those values can be found anywhere in the layout json file. For example, an excerpt of a layout json file, referring to the value val when defining a label in a field, looks like:{
"property_technical_name":"name",
"field_type":"TEXTAREA",
"label":"{{val}}"
}
A translation csv is composed of two comma-separated columns. The header of the table is KEY,VALUE. The first column corresponds to the keys, i.e the names of the values (val in the preceding example). The second column corresponds to the values by which the keys will be replaced when the layout will be displayed in Navigator.Considering the previous excerpt of a layout json file, a (brief) corresponding US English (en-US locale) translation csv file could be:
KEY,VALUE
val,"Hello World!"
Here is a sample translation file associated with the sample layout.json file in this page
KEY,VALUE
section_title,"Beeswax Audience Feed"
section_subtitle,"Synchronize audiences with Beeswax"
buzz_key_label,"Buzz key"

identifiers_to_send_tooltip,""
BEESWAX_label,"Cookie ids"
CUSTOMER_label,"Customer ids"

advertiser_id_label,"Advertiser ID",
advertiser_id_tooltip,"If segment should not belong to the overall beeswax account but to a specific advertiser, please enter its ID.",
customer_user_identifier_label,"Customer identifier"
customer_user_identifier_tooltip,"Path to the customer identifier property when sending customer ids. Examples : USER_EMAIL:hash | USER_AGENT:mappings[0].user_agent_id"
