Name
The only required one. It appears in the Collections list, in the sidebar, and as the heading above the Item grid, and it is used to name the file when you export a backup (heavy-equipment-2026-08-22.json).
Renaming is free. Nothing is derived from the name — no URL, no Item data, no Link address —
so you can rename a Collection at any time without consequence. You can rename inline from the
grid heading as well as from settings.
What is one Item called?
An optional singular word for one Item in this Collection — “Machine”, “Vehicle”, “Room”. Use the singular, not the plural. It shows on the Collection’s card in the Collections list and dashboard, and it feeds the{{collection.items_name}} binding used as the subtitle on the built-in default page. Leaving it blank
is fine; nothing falls back to a broken label.
Description
Free text describing what the Collection is for. It shows in the Collections list, is searchable there, and is bindable on pages. Nobody outside your team sees it unless you put it on a page.Cover image
An image file, up to 2 MB. It shows beside the Collection’s name in the sidebar, so it is read at roughly icon size — a simple, high-contrast image works better than a detailed photo. Uploading a new image replaces the old one when you save; if the upload fails, the previous image is kept and the rest of your changes still save.Using these in bindings
All four are available to page sections and Destination URLs:
One caution if you put
{{collection.name}} inside a Destination URL: values are inserted exactly as
stored, with no URL encoding. A Collection named Site A & B will break the link it is
inserted into. Keep names you intend to use in URLs free of spaces, &, ? and #.
