Collections

Collections are how individual reviews are collected for display on your website. You can create as many collections as you like, and each individual collection is saved as its own unique shortcode with its own unique settings and display options.

Collections are only possible when you are able to generate reviews. In order to generate reviews and therefore collections, at least one of these two items must be configured on your site already:

  • At least one platform both enabled and connected
  • At least one “single review” with at least one “tag” applied to it — with this you can create a “Tagged Collection”

Once either or both of those items are configured, navigate to “Reviews > Collections” and you’ll see a screen similar to this:

Managing Existing Collections

Once you have collections created, they will be listed below the “Add Collections” area. From there you can manage and configure several important aspects of your collections. The list is organized into several columns:

  • Title — the title of this collection. This can be edited directly on this screen via the “Quick Edit” link.
  • Platform — this column describes what Platform this collection was created with. Clicking the platform link will filter all your collections by that platform only.
  • Style — this column describes the style the collection was configured with. This cannot be edited from this screen.
  • Format — this column describes the format the collection was configured with. This cannot be edited from this screen.
  • Date — this column displays the date that the collection was created. Clicking on the “Date” header of this column will sort your collections by date.
  • Shortcode — this column provides a button you can click in order to copy the shortcode for this collection to your clipboard to paste anywhere throughout your website.
