Content Types
Content types, define reusable schemas for documents. You can for example create a content type called
Page or Product to re-use a certain set of fields.To create a content type:
- 1.Navigate to the page 'Content Types' by clicking the double-square icon in the menu bar on the left.
- 2.On this page you'll find a 'Create Type'-Button at the top right corner.
- 3.Enter
NameandApi-Idand click 'Save'. - 4.Now you can start editing your new content type.
On the page 'Content Types' you'll see an overview of existing content types. You can simply click one of them to enter the edit mode and to add and remove fields or to change their configuration.
If you remove a field with existing content, the content of these fields will be deleted.

Select field configuration example
The Main Field is a special attribute that can be be applied for
text, richtext, number and select fields. Its main purpose is to provide a identifier for documents to help you navigating faster through lists. For example, for the Content Type Author you would probably choose the field Name to be the Main Field.A Main Field is always required. If you choose a field to be the Main Field, it will be set to be required automatically.
Sections can be used to group a set of fields. This is useful for editors and comes handy if you need to encapsulate some fields for the REST API.
Sections Example Document
...,
"fields": {
"title": "Garret Ginner Pro",
"type": "skateboard",
"description": {
"text": "...",
"dimensions": "...",
"type_of_wood": "..."
},
...
},
...
We are planning to make sections repeatable soon. This will enable your editors to create multiple instances of a field group. A good example for this would be a band tour with multiple locations.
To enable a field to be available for translation, just select the checkbox Translatable on the edit- or create field screen and save the configuration.
- 1.Navigate to the page 'Content Types' by clicking the double-square icon in the menu bar on the left.
- 2.Select a content type by activating the checkbox.
- 3.Click the 'Trashcan'-Button.
- 4.Confirm.
Deleting a
content type will also delete all documents of this type!
