Add & Manage Fields for a Collections


Once you have created a collection, you can add different fields to it and customise it as per your requirement. Collection fields are not like website building components. They are like spaces under which you can store your data categorically for convenience.


Adding Field

To add a field in a collection, first, go to the Components panel and open the General settings of the collection you want to add fields to. Then, click the "Add Field" button and follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose the Field Type to define the type of data that the field is supposed to store in the collection.

Step 2: Provide the Field Name to indicate the type of data you want to add to that field.


Optional Settings

After adding a field type and name, you can further edit the following optional fields:

  • Placeholder: As you type the field name, a default placeholder automatically gets added. You can change it or leave it empty as per your choice.

  • Minimum Character Count: It allows you to set a minimum character limit on a collection field. Once you set a limit, the field will not accept or support any entry with a character count lesser than the minimum limit.

  • Maximum Character Count: It allows you to set a maximum character limit on a collection field. Once you set a limit, the field will not accept or support any entry with a character count more than the maximum limit.

  • Mandatory: It allows you to make a collection field mandatory or compulsory to be filled.

  • Unique: It allows you to make a collection field unique when you know that every entry in that field will be different or unique, for example, email IDs of two different people can't be the same.


After filling the required and optional fields, click the Save button to securely save the created collection field.

Congratulations! You have just created a Collection Field.
