Add fields to a Content type.
Define the labels, types, and required information that make each entry consistent and useful.
Follow the steps.
Use your own accurate details and check the result as you go. You can return to the relevant Website editor to make corrections.
Start with the entry
Choose one representative article, project, or service and list the information visitors need.
Add the shared fields
Use clear field labels and supported types such as Title, Summary, Body, and Featured Image.
Check required settings
Require a value only when the presentation or review cannot work without it.
Illustrative exampleWhat a useful result looks like
- The result
- Fields with useful labels and the right required or optional settings.
- What to check
- Create a test Entry and check that each field can hold the information you need.
Adapt the example to your Website and review the result before moving to the next task.
Make labels usable for writers
A field label should describe the value it holds, not the internal implementation behind it.
Avoid fields without an owner
If no Page, Theme, or workflow uses a field, leave it out until the presentation need is clear.
Before you continue
Adding a field defines the Content type structure; it does not fill entries, make them public, or guarantee a compatible presentation.
