How do I create an Item Collection?

Item Collections are for repeatable structured records such as directories, portfolios, resources, staff or other content that should share the same fields.

Updated October 1, 2026

Start with the structure

  1. Open Item Collections in administration.
  2. Create a collection with a clear public purpose and name.
  3. Configure the fields/profile the items in that collection need.
  4. Add a small test item and any media.
  5. Review the public listing and item view before entering the full catalog.

Use a normal Page when the content is one-off. Use a Collection when many records need the same shape.
