Adding fields to content groups

Once your content group has been created, you will be navigated to the “Fields” tab, here you can set up the format for your content group.

By default, a field labelled “Title” is added, and is required for each content group item.

Adding new content group fields

  1. In the top right hand corner of the screen, select “Add a new field”
  2. Add an appropriate label (e.g. Product Description)
  3. From the dropdown, select an appropriate data type (e.g. Text Area). A full list of these data type fields is below.
  4. Set if this field is required or not.
  5. Set the options (using the cog icon).
    A full list of these options is below.
  6. Save your content group field setup by clicking “Save” in the top-left hand corner

Recommended Workflow

Please note that once a content group has been populated, you cannot edit the fields used, so this a recommended workflow:

  1. Create your content group fields
  2. Create a test item in your content group
  3. Ensure that your content group fields match your needs
  4. Delete your test item
  5. Modify your fields accordingly
  6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you are happy with your content group fields.
