Structure
There are three main parts of Fandom Track: fandoms, collections, & layouts.
- Fandoms are the groups that hold collections & layouts
- Collections are sets of data
- Layouts are how collection data is presented
For example if your fandom is travel, you could have collections of cites & countries and layouts showing the cities you want to visit & your favorite cities.
Attributes
Section titled “Attributes”Collections have attributes which define what types of data they hold. So for example a city collection could have: name, picture, notes, & rating attributes.
Layouts are made up of collection attributes that are used in multiple ways:
- Display: primary attribute used to display a item
- Detail: only shown when opening the details of a item
- Filter: used to choose which items are displayed in the layout
- Sort: defines how the items are ordered in the layout
- Group: optionally group the items
For example a layout that lists your favorite cities could have the attributes:
- Display: name & picture
- Detail: notes & rating
- Filter: rating
- Sort: name
