titleCreate Custom Fields

The first step in creating your first Custom Entity is to create the Fields that will make up your Custom Entity. You can choose from several different types of Fields to display the information you want. You can either use a text-based Field (text, long text, rich text) where the Author of the Entity can later enter text freely. Or you can use a value-based Field (checkbox, radio button, drop-down list, token, user selection, date & time) where the Entity author can later choose from a list of predefined values.

  • Go to “Templates > Custom Fields”.

  • Create a new Custom Field.

  • Choose the settings and layout you want.

  • Publish the Field.

titleCreate Custom Templates

The second step in creating your first Custom Entity, is to create a Custom Template that defines the layout of your Entities. You can select your previously created Fields and drag and drop them into the layout of your Template.

  • Go to “Templates > Custom Templates”.

  • Create a new Custom Template.

  • Fill in the mandatory properties such as name and icon.

  • Move the Fields into the layout and adjust position and size of the Fields.

  • Publish the layout.

Tipp: You can right-click the Fields you have added to the layout and take advantage of other options, such as changing the placement of the label or the alignment within the Field. These changes are Template specific and do not affect the Field itself or its use in other Templates.
