The secret weapon for precise control of content display effects

1. Flexible content model: the cornerstone of structured content

Before importing content, we first need to define the corresponding content model in AnQiCMS.The system is built-in with article and product models, and also supports us to customize content models according to business needs, such as "events", "cases", and so on.Each model can add custom fields, such as the "author source", "reading time", "specification parameters", "application scenarios", and so on.

When you import content in bulk, these custom fields can act as receivers for structured data.This means you can import data containing rich details, not just titles and text.For example, when importing product information, you can also import additional fields such as 'SKU number', 'inventory quantity', 'brand', 'material', etc., in addition to product name and description.This flexibility ensures the completeness and manageability of imported content.

2. Fine-grained content field configuration: building SEO-friendly content
