Adding entries

Once your collection has fields, entries are the actual items inside it: the individual lawyers, recipes, or venues. This is where you'll spend most of your time — adding entries, editing them, and publishing the ones you want live.

The entries table

Open a collection from the Collections page and you land on its entries. Each entry is a row; the columns are your fields, with the title field first, so you can scan the list at a glance. Media fields show a small thumbnail, and reference fields show how many linked entries there are.

At the top you'll see the collection's name and a running count of how many entries it holds. Long lists page automatically, so you can move through them without endless scrolling.

Adding an entry

1. In the collection's entries, click Add entry.
2. Fill in the fields. TribeNest shows the right input for each type — a text box, a date picker, a map, an image uploader, and so on. Fields grouped under a section appear together beneath that heading.
3. Decide whether to publish it now (see below).
4. Click Create.

Required fields are marked with a small asterisk, and the field you chose as the title is labelled so you know which one drives the entry's name.

Filling in different field types

• Text and number — type straight into the box.
• Rich text — a full editor lets you format the text with headings, links, and styling.
• Date — pick from a calendar.
• Yes / No — flip the switch.
• Select — choose one option from the dropdown.
• Multi-select — tick as many boxes as apply.
• Tags — type a tag and press Enter (or a comma), or click Add. Backspace clears the last one. Remove any tag with its small ✕.
• Location — search for an address, click the map, or drag the pin to place it. You can also type exact coordinates.
• Group — fill in the block of sub-fields together.
• List — click Add item to add a row, fill it in, and repeat. Remove any row with its trash icon.

Uploading media

For a Media field, click Upload file to pick an image or file from your device. Images show a thumbnail preview right away; other files show as a link. Click Replace file to swap it, or Remove to clear it. If your media already lives somewhere online, you can paste its link instead of uploading.

Linking to other entries

For a Reference field, start typing in the search box and pick the entry you want to link — you'll see entries by their name, not by any code. If the field allows multiple links, keep picking to add more; each linked entry appears as a chip you can remove with its ✕.

Publishing an entry

Every entry is either a draft or published. Only published entries appear on your public site.

• When adding or editing an entry, use the Published switch to make it live or keep it as a draft.
• From the entries table, open any entry's ⋯ menu and choose Publish to make a draft live in one click.

Because required fields are only enforced when you publish, you can save a half-finished entry as a draft and come back to complete it later.

Editing and archiving

• Edit — click a row, or use its ⋯ menu and choose Edit, to reopen the entry and change anything.
• Archive — use the ⋯ menu and choose Archive to take an entry down. Archiving removes it from your public site.

Filtering your list

Above the table, quick filters let you focus the list:

• All — every entry.
• Published — only the live ones.
• Pending review — entries waiting on you, with a count badge when there are any. This is where visitor submissions land — see Collecting submissions.

Entries that came in from a public submission are marked as such — and show the submitter's name when one was given — so you can tell your own entries apart from the ones people sent in.
