Skip to main content
A collection is a structured content template: you define the fields and groups once, and afterwards you can create any number of entries following this schema. Typical examples: blog posts, job listings, news, glossaries, or contacts.
You maintain the structure of a collection under Templates → Collections. The entries themselves are maintained via Collections in the sidebar.

​
Creating a new collection

Open Templates → Collections and click + New.
1

General

  • Code: Unique technical identifier (no spaces, umlauts, or special characters)
  • Description: Display name for a better overview
  • Show details: Enables a detail page per entry (e.g. for blog posts with a “Read more” link)
  • Show in all languages: Makes the collection available across languages
2

Choose collection image

Select an icon for the collection. It is only used for the overview in the CMS and does not appear on the website.
3

Synchronization (optional)

In the synchronization section you can automatically reconcile entries with an external source: enable synchronization, choose a source, and set an interval. Optionally, you can control the generation via an AI prompt.
4

Save

Click Save or Save and close.

​
Editing the structure

Select a collection and click Edit. The editing view contains several sections. At the top you can duplicate the collection via Copy collection or Delete it.

​
Collection fields

Collection fields determine the input mask of the entries. Each field has a Description, a Type, and the In overview setting (Yes/No), which specifies whether the field appears in lists and previews. Via + New you select the field type from a tile overview. Two kinds:
  • Input field: simple inputs such as text, rich text field, date, image, link, or option field
  • Sitepart: full-fledged content types such as texts, image galleries, or article previews, which are maintained directly within the entry
Use Move up / Move down to change the order of the fields.
Golf guide example: Date (input field: date), Preview image (input field: image), Heading (input field: text), Short text (input field: rich text field), Details (sitepart: texts), Article preview (sitepart: article preview), Image gallery (sitepart: image galleries).

​
Collection groups

Groups categorize your entries. For each group you define:
FieldMeaning
DescriptionName of the group
ColorColor coding
Active by defaultWhether the group is preselected for new entries (Yes/No)
Link the collection with its counterparts in other languages for correct hreflang markup. For each link you select a Language and a Collection.

​
Additional sections

In the editing view you will also find the fields from the creation dialog (Code, Description, Show details, Collection image, Synchronization) as well as an Info section with the change data.

​
Deleting a collection

Open the collection via Edit and click Delete at the top, or select it in the list and use Delete in the toolbar.
Deleting a collection also removes all associated entries. This action cannot be undone.

​
Displaying a collection on a page

For a collection to become visible on the website, you embed it on a page. To do so, open a page under Structure → Pages, create a new content element, and select the Collection tab.
For more information, see Display collection and Page contents.
