Disclosure Fragments in Assette are the foundational elements used to compose disclosure language called Disclosure Blocks within Assette. They are individually authored pieces of text that can be grouped into Disclosure Blocks and added to Smart Pages. Creating and managing Disclosure Fragments efficiently ensures that your organization’s legal and regulatory language is consistent, centrally controlled, and reusable across multiple documents.
This article guides you through the process of creating a new Disclosure Fragment using the Authoring Center in Assette.
Creating & Editing Disclosure Fragments #
To create a new Disclosure Fragment, click ADD NEW located on the left-hand side of the Disclosure Fragments page, near the top of the page.
In the prompt that appears, enter a Name for the new Disclosure Fragment. This name should meaningful and describe the content or purpose of the disclosure. Select a category that best matches the purpose of the fragment.
Select a Category from the drop-down list. Categories help you organize fragments and make them easier to locate and manage later. Note: Categories can be customized. If needed, refer to the Manage Disclosure Fragment Categories article for guidance on adding, editing, or deleting categories.
Next, click APPLY. The new Disclosure Fragment will now appear on the Disclosure Fragments page, ready for content editing. Enter the desired text into the text area.
Saving and Publishing the Fragment #
After authoring the disclosure content:
- Click SAVE to store the content in draft mode. This action retains your work and allows you to continue editing at a later time. If the page is refreshed or closed without saving, your changes will be lost.
- To make the Disclosure Fragment available for use in Disclosure Blocks, click PUBLISH.
