CMS: Connection Options and Supported Collection Fields for Each Element

With the CMS (Content Management System), you can connect various parts of your site's elements to different types of collection fields. Review the tables in this article to learn which collection field types can connect to each part of your site's elements. Some element connections, such as button click actions, can also connect to dataset actions such as 'Load more' or 'Next item', or to dynamic pages.

Elements that can connect to your CMS each have their own types of connection options. Each option can connect to specific types of fields, dataset actions, or dynamic pages. 

For example, an image element has several connection options. You can only connect the image source to an image field. However, you can connect the image alt text and tooltip to the following types of collection fields: Text, Number, Date and Time, Address, or Tags. The image link can connect to various dataset actions, your dynamic pages, or the following field types: Document, URL, Image, or Video.

The CMS works with a variety of user input elements that let you capture, store, display, and edit visitor content in a collection. Using these elements, you can create your own forms or allow visitors to filter the content on your site.

The following is a list of the user input elements compatible with the CMS, and the field types that the connection options can connect to.
