Notice: Directory System is Exclusively for the Legacy Drag-and-Drop Editor
The Directory collection system described in this guide is designed specifically for websites created with the legacy drag-and-drop editor. If you are building your website using the new AI editor, directory collections and manual fields are not used; the AI creates, structures, and maintains your directory and listing layouts automatically.
Directory Collections let you organize records and display them on your Grigora website. This guide explains the directory system, its features, and common uses.
What are Directory Collections
Directory collections are structured sets of data and content that help you organize information like businesses, events, places, and services in a way that makes it easy for users to browse and discover. Think of directory collections as organized databases that you can display beautifully on your website.
Common Use Cases
Use directory collections to create business listings, event collections, product catalogs, case studies, glossaries, knowledge bases, location directories, and any type of organized content that users need to browse and explore systematically.
How Directory Collections Function
Directory collections in Grigora function as dynamic organized content systems where each item in your collection can have custom fields like name, description, images, dates, and locations. This flexibility allows you to create exactly the structure you need for your specific content type.
Getting Started with Directory Collections
Go to your Grigora dashboard and click on "Directory Listing" to access the directory collections management area. Click "Create Your First Collection" to start building your directory. This opens the directory collection creation interface where you can configure your organized content system.
Benefits of Directory Collections
Use directory collections to organize records and display them in a consistent layout, such as business listings, event pages, or product catalogs.
