Collections are one of the most powerful tools in our CMS. They allow you to create a template of content modules that remains consistent for each of the associated entries. There is also the option to have a detail page automatically generated for each of these entries, which can be accessed by clicking on an entry in the overview. Typical examples of collections are job listing pages, blog entries, glossaries, and news entries.
