Fields that fit what they hold

Format a website's text as you write it, type tags and lists one at a time, and get the right keyboard for emails, phones and web addresses, in every Halo product.

Every Halo product now uses the same fields, so what you learn in one works in the others.

  • Write a website's text as it will look. A page's text, an entry's long fields and a listing's description have a formatting bar: headings, bold, italics, lists, quotes and links. Choose Link and the website's pages are offered as you type, or type a web address, an email or a phone number. Typing ## still starts a heading, and - a list. See Build a website.

  • Lists, one item at a time. Tags, a question's choices, postal codes, what a plan includes and the pages a source reads are typed in one at a time: press Enter (or a comma, for words) after each, Backspace to take the last one back, or paste a whole list.

  • Emails, phones and web addresses bring the right keyboard on a phone and fill in from your browser. A website's collections can have Phone number and Email address fields too, and the directory's phone uses one. A web address typed without https:// gets it, and one that can't be an address says so once you move on.

  • Addresses are a street, a city and a postal code everywhere a business or listing has one.

  • Opening hours are set day by day: tick the days somewhere opens and give the times, or copy Monday's hours to the week. They're kept as words, a line per run of days ("Mon–Fri 09:00–17:00"), so websites show them as they are, and hours written some other way stay as they were. A kind's fields can be Opening hours too.

  • Prices show their currency, picked from a list rather than typed as a code. Coordinates are numbers, kept to the map.

  • Where an entry is, on a map. A website collection with latitude and longitude, such as a directory, shows a map in each entry's form: click it to place the pin, or drag the pin to move it.

  • Pictures come from your organization's asset library in the same way everywhere, with a place to say what each one shows.

  • Lists you put in order, such as a website's menu, its footer links and its redirects, open one item at a time with buttons to move or remove it.
