CMS: Creating a Collection Using AI
2 min read
Let AI (Artificial Intelligence) help you get a jump start on creating the structure and content of new CMS collections. With the AI Collection Creator, you enter a name and prompt about a collection you want to create, then let AI do the rest. Once created, you can manage the collection fields and content as you would any other collection.

Next, learn how to:
- Manage your new collection's items and fields.
- Sort and filter your view in the collection and save it as a custom view for future use.
- Add field validations to create mandatory, required fields.
- Set items as hidden or visible on your live site, directly from your collection.
- Add default values that automatically populate in fields when a new item is added.
- Create a dynamic list page to showcase your collection items in one place.
