Collections




Collections act as structured data storage within the site editor. They help organize and manage different types of data that can be used across various pages of a website. In this interface, the "Collections" section appears as a database-like feature where users can store and retrieve information.


Key Features of the Highlighted Sections:

1. Collections Icon (Left Sidebar)

  • The highlighted folder icon labeled "Collections" serves as a navigation tool.
  • Clicking on it displays all available collections and allows users to manage them.

2. "+ Add Collection" Button

  • This allows users to create a new collection.
  • A new collection can store structured data that can be referenced or used dynamically on web pages.
  • Users may define fields inside each collection to store specific types of data.

3. Collections Panel (Left Sidebar)

  • It lists all the existing collections that you create.
  • Each collection likely represents a structured dataset, similar to tables in a database.
  • There are gear icons next to each collection, which might be for managing or editing them.


Use Cases for Collections

  • Storing dynamic content such as product catalogs, user data, or blog categories.
  • Managing site-wide data that can be reused across different pages.
  • Simplifying content updates by storing data separately from the page design.


Here’s a breakdown of what’s displayed:

  • Collections Sidebar (Left Panel) – The "Collections" tab is selected, indicating that the user is managing data within a collection.

  • Test Data Section (Main Panel) – The page is displaying a collection named "Test", but no data is currently available in it.

  • Available Options (Top Menu):
    • Fields – Likely allows the user to define data structure (e.g., adding fields like name, type, etc.).
    • Filters – Used to filter data within the collection.
    • Access To – Likely controls user permissions for this collection.
    • Indexing – This possibly helps with performance optimization for retrieving data.
    • Permission Filters – These likely add more granular access control.

  • "Add Test" Button – This allows users to add new records to the "Test" collection.

  • "No Data Found" Message – This suggests that the collection is empty and needs data to be added.
