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. ## Step 1: Navigate to the Collections Menu First, navigate to the Collections menu. You can find it by hovering over the gear icon in the top right corner and clicking on "Collections" in the drop-down menu. Navigation to the Collections menu via the gear icon ## Step 2: Create a New Collection There you can begin creating a new collection. Do this by clicking on the "Plus" icon with the label "New" below it. Create a new collection using the plus icon ## Step 3: Choose a Collection Code and Description Now choose the collection code and description. You can freely choose both the code and the description — they serve only to help with clarity and organisation. Please note that the Code field must not contain any spaces, umlauts, or special characters. Enter the collection code and description ## Step 4: Choose a Collection Image and Save Next, you need to select a collection image. This also serves purely for organisational purposes and will not be displayed in your web shop.

This will display a "Read more" field below the collection fields, which we will create in the next step. If you would like such a detail view, check the box next to "Show details".

Using the "Input field" module, you can create simple fields for maintaining texts, images, links, and data.

There you can select a description and determine whether this group should be active by default when creating new entries.
