This tutorial is a step in the Create your first Interactive Communication series. It is recommended to follow the series in chronological sequence to understand, perform, and demonstrate the complete tutorial use case.

Document fragments are reusable components of a correspondence that are used to compose an Interactive Communication. The document fragments are of the following types:

Text - A text asset is a piece of content that consists of one or more paragraphs of text. A paragraph can be static or dynamic.
List - List is a group of document fragments, including text, lists, conditions, and images.
Condition - Conditions enable you to define what content gets included in the Interactive Communication based on the data received from the Form Data Model.

This tutorial walks you through the steps to create multiple text document fragments based on the anatomy provided in Plan the Interactive Communication section. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:

Create document fragments
Create variables
Create and apply rules

The following is the list of document fragments that are created in this tutorial:

Each document fragment includes fields with static text, data received from form data model, and data entered using the Agent UI. All these fields have been depicted in the Plan the Interactive Communication section.

While creating document fragments in this tutorial, variables are created for fields that receive data using the Agent UI.

Use FDM_Create_First_IC, as described in the Create form data model section, as the form data model to create document fragments in this tutorial.
