Wix Studio: Using the CMS

Click Manage Dynamic Pages to go to your site pages panel where you can view the names of all your dynamic pages. Each dynamic page name ends with either (List) or (Item) to indicate the type of dynamic page.

You can create custom forms by adding user input elements and connecting them to a "Write" mode dataset. The dataset connects to the collection in which you want to store the visitor submissions. Choose from several user input elements such as text inputs, dropdown selections, upload buttons and more. 

If needed, you can set permissions to determine who can submit content. You can also export the collection as a CSV file to use the data outside of the Wix CMS (e.g. in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets). 

By default, your Wix app collections are hidden from your list of collections. You can view Wix app collections in the CMS and connect them to page elements. However, you cannot edit the collections in the CMS because the content is managed from the relevant Wix app (e.g. Wix Stores, Wix Bookings). 

To view Wix app collections in your CMS, enable them from your CMS advanced settings: 

Yes. In the Page Info tab of your dynamic page settings, you can adjust your page caching settings to make the page cached automatically, or manually. If a page is cached, its data is saved locally so it takes less time for the page to load. There are some pages we do not recommend caching, such as pages that have user generated content or dynamic data (such as pricing).

Adding a field to your dynamic page URL helps search engines and visitors understand what the page content is about. It also adds structure and organization to your site's dynamic URLs. 

You may need to add fields to the URL to create unique URLs for each item in your collection. If multiple items in your collection have the same value in their Title field, and you do not add a field to the dynamic URL, only 1 URL is generated. This is because Title is used in the URL by default. Since only 1 URL is created for both items, only 1 item will have a dynamic page, the other will not. 

To solve this issue, add fields to the URL so each item gets its own dynamic page with a unique URL. 

For example, if your dynamic item page URL ends with /team/{Title}, and 2 items in the collection have "Sara" in the Title field, only 1 URL is generated for /team/sara. So only 1 dynamic page is created for 1 of the 2 items in the collection. To solve this, you could add a field to the URL that is unique to each item such as the ID field. The URL would then be /team/sara/{ID} so each item gets its own unique dynamic page URL.

Warning: If you change the URL structure of your dynamic pages, all the existing links to these pages will no longer work. This affects links within your site, any links you've shared externally, and SEO links in search engines. 

Rich content elements can display formatted text as well as images and videos in a single dynamic element on your site. You manage their content from the connected collection using the rich content field type. 

Rich content allows you, and collaborators with permissions, to manage formatted text directly from your CMS (Content Management System). You can add, edit, and delete the fields in the same way as any other field type and use them on dynamic pages.
