Content Library
Manage entries and files in one place. The Content Library provides a centralized location to organize, search, and manage all contents efficiently.
Features
Collection List
Displays all collections with entry counts for quick access. Singletons are marked distinctly to differentiate them from regular collections. A collection’s index file isn’t included in its count, because it stands for the collection’s own page rather than for one of the entries in it.
Customization options include:
- Collection labels can be defined using the
labeloption in the collection configuration. - Collection icons can be set using the
iconoption in the collection configuration. - Dividers can be added between collections using the
divideroption in the collection configuration.
Entry List
To access the Entry List, navigate to the Content Library and select a collection from the Collection List. Entries within a selected collection are displayed in a user-friendly, customizable list.
Entry Summaries
To customize the information displayed for each entry in the Entry List, a summary field can be defined in the entry collection configuration. This allows highlighting specific fields that are most relevant to the workflow. For file collections, the filename is used as the summary.
View Modes
Users can switch between list and grid views for better visualization of entries. The grid view is especially useful when entries have associated images. If no Image field is present, only the list view is available.
Sorting, Filtering and Grouping
Entry collections can be sorted, filtered, and grouped based on various criteria to help users find specific entries quickly. Users can sort entries by fields such as date created, date modified, title, or any custom field defined in the collection. Filtering options allow users to narrow down entries based on specific field values, while grouping helps organize entries into categories for easier navigation.
See Entry Views for how to configure these options.
Associated Assets
Assets stored in a collection media folder are displayed alongside their respective entries for easy identification.
Bulk Actions
Users can select multiple entries to delete them at once, streamlining content management tasks. Entries referencing any of them through a Relation field are updated in the same commit, and the deletion is refused if that would leave one of those fields invalid; see Cascading Deletions.
Content Search
Instant full-text search across all entries and files helps users find content quickly. Search results are ranked by relevance to ensure the most pertinent results come first.
