Collection Types

You can create many types of collections:

• Internal Collections
• Google Sheets
• Airtable

Create Collections

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

All collections should adhere to the following:

• The first row of the collection must contain the field names (for example, Number of Rooms).
• Data must be structured correctly based on the data type.
• For Airtable and 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) or a random string (Airtable).
• 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, CA, Palo Alto, US
  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.

To create a collection:

1. In the left panel, click Content, click Collections, and then click + New Collection.
2. Select the type of collection you want to create.
3. Connect to the collection.
4. Define the correct data type for each field.
5. Click Done.

The new collection displays in the collection panel. The next step is to create or convert a Dynamic Page so you can connect it to your newly created collection.
