The Hello Quix template is a simple three-step pipeline that you can use as a basis for any project. It streams data from a small CSV to a Kafka topic. From there, it’s consumed by a basic aggregation process which writes the output to a second topic. Finally, the output is consumed by a basic logging service.
Here's a short video that introduces the template in a bit more detail:
Why use the Hello Quix template?
Perhaps our other project templates don't quite fit your needs, and you need to start from the basics. However, you might also find it a little cumbersome to start with a completely empty pipeline. The Hello Quix template is a bare-bones option that helps you skip the boring parts of building up a pipeline while avoiding some of the clutter that might come with other more complex project templates.
Using the template
Here's a video guide that shows you what each component does and how to reuse the project template (opens in YouTube):

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
