Items and templates

Build reusable structure without losing item-level flexibility.

More elaborate tutorials are being worked on and will be added soon.

1. Quick mode vs full mode

  • Quick mode focuses on value entry with minimal controls.
  • Full mode adds overview representation, open behavior, and full property controls.
  • Switch modes at any time while editing.

2. Property types

Supported types include text, number, date, url, tags, checkbox, rating, picture, and Discogs-specific properties.

3. Overview representation

  1. Add property or text segments.
  2. Set per-segment style (size, weight, alignment where applicable).
  3. Choose mode: horizontal one-line, horizontal full, or vertical.
  4. Use arrows to reorder segments.

4. Templates and locked structure

  • Template-attached properties keep template-controlled structure in items.
  • Users can still edit property values where allowed.
  • Items can be detached from templates in full mode if needed.

5. Pushing template changes

When updating templates, you can apply changes to attached items and review impact before saving.
