Create Container Type
To create a Container Type, click on:
- Click your profile picture in the top right of Repox Store.
- Control Panel -> Content Model -> Container types
Using the “Create (+)" button, on the bottom right of Repox Store, you can create one or more new Container Types.
Asterisk (*) represents the required fields.
Slug field can be refilled as you are typing in the “Name” field or you can type the slug you prefer.
When the “Allowed at Root” button is enabled, you can create a container with the specific type at the root. Otherwise, you can create the container with this container type only into containers that you would have defined.
Enabling the "Properties on create" button allows you to conveniently assign metadata to the container at the time of its creation.
When the "Searchable" button is enabled, the container type becomes visible in search filters.
Enabling the "Unique Label" option ensures that containers created with the specified container type, whether in a container or root containers, cannot have duplicate labels.
The following are the three different container types layout available in Repox:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | A default layout is designed to display a container in the storefront when no specific layout has been assigned to it. It serves as a fallback option for displaying the container's content. When a default layout is activated, typically no metadata or additional information is displayed for that particular container. |
| Record | A record layout serves as a blueprint for the structure of a data record. With a record layout readily available for a container, you can effortlessly navigate and modify the metadata on a per-field basis, allowing you to view data values stored in non-display fields. |
| Cataloguing | With cataloguing layout, you can efficiently document all relevant details and information for the container without any unnecessary complications or difficulties. |
Define Allowed Container Types/Datastream Types
A container with a specific type allows only distinct containers and datastreams to be added. To define the containers and the datastreams, click on the following:
- Click your profile picture in the top right of Repox Store.
- Control Panel -> Content Model -> Container types
After clicking on "Container Types", choose a Container Type and open the Allowed tab.
In this tab, you can configure both “Allowed Container Types” and “Allowed Datastream Types”, by clicking the "Edit" button.
In the Reference tab, all container types that have been configured to reference the selected container type are displayed.
