Directories are used to group together a related group of entries. A user can filter the directory to find what they're looking for, like in our parks and facilities directory.
A directory is made up of:
- directory channel
- directory items (directory venues or directory pages)
- facets
You must have a least 5 entries to create a directory. Any less, and you should consider putting the details into the relevant content page.
The directory channel organises the entries and filters.
Directory venues give information about a venue and a location. Directory pages give information about a venue but do not include a location. A directory channel can include both directory venues and pages.
Facets are filters a user can use to find what they're looking for. Before creating a new facet, look in the list of existing facets to avoid duplication. Users must be able to quickly understand each facet category, and how it differentiates from the others – there must not be any facet overlap.
You should include 'directory' in the title of the directory channel.
