What are the options for choosing field types in a custom content model, and how to set required and default values?

Flexible customization, the foundation of content models

In the Auto CMS, the content model is the core of your website's content organization.System default provides "Article Model" and "Product Model" as basic models, but the real strength lies in the ability to create or modify customized content models according to your unique business needs.For example, if you operate a travel website, you may need a "travel route

To manage and set these custom fields, you can go to the "Content Management" module of the AnQi CMS backend and then select "Content Model" to perform operations.Here, you can define unique fields for each model to achieve a highly personalized content structure.It is worth noting that the built-in models of the system can be modified but not deleted, while the custom models you add can be fully controlled over their lifecycle.When designing the model, be sure to consider all aspects carefully, as deleting the model will also delete all documents and categories under it, so the operation should be done with caution.

Rich selection of field types

Auto CMS provides various field types for custom content models to meet the needs of different types of data storage and display.Understanding the types of these fields and their applicable scenarios is the key to efficient content management.

Single Line TextThis is the most basic text input field, suitable for situations where a single line of short text is needed, such as the 'author' of an article, the 'brand name' or 'model' of a product, etc., with a character limit usually within 250 characters.

NumberThis field type is designed for numeric input, ensuring that the input content is only numbers.It is very suitable for recording fields such as 'inventory quantity', 'price', 'page views', or any field that requires numerical calculations.

Ensure data integrity: Set required fields

During the content publishing process, certain information is crucial and indispensable.The "auto" option allows you to enforce that content publishers fill in these key fields, ensuring the completeness and quality of the content.

Improve efficiency and standardization: Configure default values

“Default value” setting is a very practical feature, which can automatically fill in preset values for fields when content is published, thereby improving the efficiency of content creation and ensuring consistency of certain fields.
