Module Assessment | Yext Hitchhikers Platform
Background
As you know, Turtlehead Tacos wants to feature their Community Stories with dedicated schema-optimized Pages and make them a vertical in Search.
In the Entity Types Module , you created the Entity Type for “Community Story” and added the Videos and Description fields. Now, it’s time to add more fields for this type and a new field for the Restaurant type to store promotions.
Your Challenge
In this challenge, you will add fields to the Community Story entity type and the Restaurant entity type. Some of these fields will be built-in fields so be sure to check for those first before creating new fields or defining new field types.
Navigate to Content > Configuration > Entity Types and click the dropdown next to Community Story > Edit Fields.
Add the following fields to the Community Story Type in the “Core Information” section:
Organizer Email - add the built-in field to store the email address of the main point-of-contact.
Theme - create a new field allowing users to select from a list of options:
- Type: Multi-Option Select
- Name: Theme
- ID:
c_theme
- Available Options: Environment, Education, Health, Arts, Criminal Justice, Hunger & Homelessness, Immigration
Goal - create a new field allowing users to enter a short description of the program’s goal.
- Type: Single-Line Text
- Name: Goal
- ID:
c_goal
Primary CTA - create a new field allowing users to enter a call-to-action in Search and on Pages.
- Type: Call to Action
- Name: Primary CTA
- ID:
c_primaryCTA
Click Add Fields. Then click Save.
Now you want to add a new Custom Field Type for Restaurant Promotions. Navigate to Content > Configuration > Field Types and click “Add Custom Field Type”.
- Name the type “Promotion”
Add 4 subfields with the types and names exactly as listed below:
Subfield Type: Single-line text
Subfield Label: TitleSubfield Type: Photo
Subfield Label: PhotoSubfield Type: Multi-line text
Subfield Label: DescriptionSubfield Type: URL
Subfield Label: URL
Navigate to Content > Configuration > Entity Types or Content > Configuration > Fields and create a new Custom Field on the Restaurant Type called “Restaurant Promotions” using the new type you just defined. Add the field to the “Core Information” section.
- Type: Promotion (“Make it a List” selected)
- Name: Restaurant Promotions
- ID:
c_restaurantPromotions
- Field Settings: Set item count max of 3 items
- Entity Type Availability: Restaurant (if you are adding a field through the Restaurant entity type, you won’t have to add this settings as you’re already on the entity type!)
Make sure that you name the fields, API names, types and options exactly as provided
Make sure you add the field type specified in the instructions? Some common mistakes include
- Adding a field of type Complex Photo, instead of Photo
- Adding a field of type single-option select instead of multi-option select, or vice versa
- Adding a field of type multiline text instead of single-line text, or vice versa
Double check the instructions and make sure you’re adding the right field type!
