Creating a new advice collection

To create an advice collection, click on the ‘Add entry’ button at the top right of the screen. In the dropdown menu, click on advice collection.

If the button on the right doesn’t say ‘Add entry’, find the ‘Content type’ button on the left side of the search bar in the home page in Contentful. Click the button and select ‘Any’ in the drop down menu. The button on the right should say ‘Add entry’ now.

Fill in the fields for the advice collection

This section can help you find out what to put in each field of the advice collection. 

Name

This field is for finding content entries in the CMS - it won't be used as the page title and users won't see it.

If the advice collection needs a classification number, you can add it in the next field. You shouldn’t add it to the name.

Classification number

You only need to add a classification number if you’re creating an advice collection for advisers or for both the public and advisers. This number will appear before the title in AdviserNet.

You’ll need to choose a classification number that isn’t already being used. You can check which numbers are already in use in this spreadsheet.

You should also add the new classification number to the AdviserNet codes spreadsheet.

Country - previously known as audience

Select the countries where you want the advice collection to appear.

Body

The ‘Body’ field is where you put the content of your advice collection - for example, any text or callouts.

Version information

Try to write the version information so it will make sense to someone who looks at it later without knowing the context. Say that it's a new advice collection. If the work is part of a project, include the project name.

Endnotes - only in advice collections for advisers

You won’t need to fill in this field for a new advice collection - only migrated advice collections will have endnotes.

Last accuracy review

Click the calendar button and add the date you’re publishing the content - the public or advisers will be able to see this on the site.

First published

You can ignore this - it’s used by the content platform team when they’re migrating content.

Changed date

You can ignore this - it’s used by the content platform team when they’re migrating content.
