Collection Grid Block

The Collection Grid block provides a way to display collection item pages that can be filtered based on the collection categories selected. For example, you could create a collection type for all your "Computer Science" program courses and create collection categories such as "Majors, Minors, and Certificates". Visitors may then filter the content to just view the courses for Computer Science majors.

Add a Collections Grid Block

Add Collections Grid Block Content

2. Display title: enabled by default, toggle the button to hide the block title.

Configure Content Display Tab

1. Type: Select the Collection Type you would like to display in the collection grid. If you do not select a Collection Type, a collection item won't display in the grid even if it's category is tagged in the Collection Category Selection.
2. Collection Grid Filter:
   1. Label: Add a Category label so users may filter by different category sets.
   2. Category: Select the Collection Categories you would like to display in the collection grid. Selecting more than one category will automatically add a filter for the displayed items.

   2. Multi Select List: allow the user to select multiple categories to filter the collection list.

Design the Collection Grid Block
