Set up field groups
About field groups
Field groups allow you to organize the related fields of a content type into tabs or inline groups. Using these field groups, you can improve the editing interface for your editors.
You can set up field groups from the "Groups" tab of your content type.
When organizing fields into tabs, they can be grouped in horizontal tabs as either top-level tabs for page types or within nested references. The maximum number of tabs per content type is 5. Any new field added to the content type will automatically be added to the first tab.
When organizing fields into sets, they are grouped inline in an entry editor. Sections s can be expanded and collapsed, and you can add them within a tab. They cannot be nested so you cannot place a section inside another. The maximum number of sections per content type is 15.
Manage field groups
To manage field groups:
Log in to the Contentful web app.
Navigate to the "Content model" tab.
Select the content type you want to edit and navigate to the "Groups" tab.
Select Add field group to create your first field group. The "Create a new group" window is displayed.
Choose the type of field group you want to create, Tab or Section.
When selecting Tab, the "Create a tab" window is displayed.
Using this option, you can group the fields in horizontal tabs as either top-level tabs or within nested references.
When selecting Section, the "Create a section" window is displayed.
Using this option, you can group fields inline in an entry editor.
Optional: You can enable the Collapsed by default option if you want to hide some less used fields.
Whether you select Tab or Section, you must enter a name for the field group, and give it an optional description.
Select Confirm. Your group is added.
NOTE: After you add your first field group to a content type, the visual order of the fields in the entry editor is determined by the settings from the "Groups" tab. If no field groups are defined, the order of the fields from the "Fields" tab is used. This is the default behavior.
Once added, you can drag the field group to the desired position and add the fields by dragging them into the group.
