In the Content Management System (CMS), you will see the collections contained in your site. Collections are groups of "items" with shared fields. A good example is an "Events" collection where each collection item has a field for: Event ID, Start Date, Event Image, and more.
Example Collection Types:
Each collection contains items with shared fields (data) that are common across the items in the collection. Each CMS item has its own CMS Template Page that utilizes the event's data.
Example Data Field Types:
Each CMS Item has a CMS Page. Example each "Event" in the "Events Collection" has a page generated with the Event Image, Event ID, Event Description,
Not every item is exactly the same and items will change over time. We can use "conditional visibility" to dynamically change the CMS item's page in many ways.
During the site build we add conditional visibility throughout. This gives you great control over your site and allows us to build custom features and functionality per the scope of the project.
If you are logged into this site, go to collections > dynamic tags > and click the green "New Dynamic Tag" Button
Your new dynamic tag should now appear below. This is a simple list for demonstration purposes, but these tag items can be visually customized to suit the content provided and the type of site. If you click the tag below, there will also be a new CMS Page associated with the tag and events filtered based on the tag.
Dynamic tags can also be used to "Live Filter" a Collection. This is useful for filtering through a large amount of items or for filtering based on multiple criteria or "Tag Collections". These live filter sets can exist in various UI states such as: Checkboxes, drop down lists, buttons, and used in a search field. For this example we used search + a list of buttons.
Live filtering only works on the published site. If you are logged into the editor, make sure to click "back to live site" to test this feature.
