      Show Area: this Yes/No dropdown field allows you to specify that the smart asset be shown as a separate area in the Layout Guide.  If set to 'Yes', a separate area, named after the smart asset and with a smart asset icon, is displayed.

The following are displayed at the bottom of the list:

      Add Smart Assets: this button allows you to associate smart assets with the layout or area.  Clicking it displays the Add Smart Assets File System Dialog, within which you can select one or more smart assets to add to the list.

      Drag/drop Smart Assets here to add them to this [Layout/Area]: dragging a smart asset from the toolbox and dropping it onto this label adds it to the list.  If the smart asset is already present in the list it is not added.

Note that Rule, Model, Goal, Tag, Table and Advanced smart assets can be added to the list.  Attribute and Audience Segment smart assets cannot.  Note also the presence of an invalid smart asset within a realtime layout does not make the layout itself invalid.

Finally, a new Realtime API Context Paths section is now available in the Smart Asset Designer’s Publish Options dialog.  For more information, please see that interface’s documentation.
