Adding and Editing Entries

Create new entries in the catalogue, change them, sort them, and remove them

3.1 A new entry

Press “+ New entry”. A form opens. Its fields are set up for your website: a catalogue of PDF documents asks for title, manufacturer, type and file, a price list for name and price.

Field type	What you enter
Short text	A name or a title. A counter shows how much room is left, for example “0 / 160”
Number or price	A price can be typed with a comma or a point, “12,50” and “12.50” both work
Yes/No	A switch, for example “available”
Choice	Pick a value from a list, the list starts with “Please choose …”
Longer text	A description, on some websites with bold and lists
Picture or PDF file	Chapter 4

A red asterisk marks the fields that must be filled in. If one stays empty, it says “Required”. Press “Save”. The entry shows up in the list straight away, on your live website after you publish (Chapter 6).

3.2 Changing an entry

Press “Edit” in the row of the entry. The same form opens with the current content. Change what you need and press “Save”. “Cancel” closes the form and keeps the entry as it was.

3.3 Changing the order

Every entry has a handle ⠿ on the left. Hold it and drag the entry up or down. The order in the list is the order on your website.

Note

While a search is active, sorting is paused. miraCMS says so above the list (“Search is on, sorting is paused.”). Clear the search field to sort again.

3.4 Deleting an entry

Press “Delete” in the row. miraCMS asks “Really delete this entry?”. Press “Delete” again to confirm, or “Cancel” to keep it.

Caution

You cannot undo a deletion yourself. Until you publish, the entry is still on your live website. After that, write to us: every saved state of your website is kept, and we can bring the entry back.
