Collections

Collections contain lists of items that have the same type of information (name, location, image, and so on). Every site can have up to 100 collections.

NOTE:

• Internal Collections are limited to 100 rows and 30 fields.
• Inner collections (collections inside a collection) are limited to 30 rows and 10 fields.
• Collection names and field names are limited to 50 characters.
• Text fields in internal collections are limited to 2000 characters.
• External collections like Google Sheets are limited to 100 fields.
• Changes to external collections update automatically every hour.

Create Collections

For specific instructions on creating collections, see the article specific to the collection type: Internal Collections, Google Sheets.

All collections should adhere to the following:

• The first row of the collection must contain the field names (for example, Employee Name).
• Data must be structured correctly based on the data type.
• For Google Sheets, you must select a field from the Page item URL drop-down in the collection to define the URL of each page and what appears in the editor drop-down. If you already have a text field named  page_item_url    in your collection, it will automatically be mapped to this drop-down. If this field is not defined, page URLs are assigned numbers (Google Sheets).
• To use Business hours you must use the following specific structure in a text field (field type: business hours): SAT, SUN: 08:00-20:00; MON, FRI: 08:00-12:00;
• To use Location you must use the following specific structure in a text field (field type: location):
  String - streetAddress, postalCode, region, city, country
  577 College Ave, 94306, NSW, Sydney, AU
  The geo location is calculated from this string, the postal code is not mandatory but if the address is not written correctly (typos for example) we might not find it.
