Save time when you build websites by filtering and sorting your Content Collections. This capability enables you to fill your websites with the exact content that you want from your content Collections, controlling what is displayed in connected widgets.

Control the information with Connected Collections

With filters and sorting, you can control the information displayed in connected site widgets, saving you the time and effort of building separate collections for different areas of your website. Just use a single collection, define the content you want to display, and choose how many items you want to display. Don't worry if that sounds a little confusing or you're not quite sure how you can control the information on your website in the way we are suggesting, we explain below. Keep on reading.

This new capability is now available with every Avanty website and in every widget that connects to a collection, including Gallery widgets, Accordion widgets, List widgets, Custom widgets and Slider widgets, and is accessible via the Connect Data popup.

Here are just two examples of how you can use Content Collections to build great-looking sites quickly.

On a Meet The Team Page, show members of the sales department 

• Connect a List widget to a collection with Team Member data. 
• Filter according to the sales department and display people in that department according to their names, in alphabetical order.

On a Estate Agency website, show houses in specific cities or areas 

• Connect a Photo gallery widget to a collection with property listing data. 
• Filter according to area (village, city, postal code etc). For example if you only want to show houses in Wimbledon, London, you can filter first for London, and then filter for Wimbledon.
