Field Groups will contain all your custom fields. Each listing type can have one or many field groups.
There are two types of field groups:

  1. Listing Field Groups
  2. Review Field Groups


Listing Field Groups

Listing field group will contain listing custom fields - those are the fields that are used to add additional information for your listings.

Examples:

Product listings:

  • 'Brand' field group - containing fields for manufacturer information
  • 'Specifications' field group - containing fields for products features
  • 'Shopping' field group - containing fields for advertising links

Company listings:

  • 'Address' field group - for address custom fields
  • 'Info' field group - for information regarding services or products
  • 'Shopping' field group - containing fields for advertising links


Field groups you wish to use on more then one Listing Types, for example 'Shopping' field group, need to be created only once and you can assign it for many different Listing Types.


Review Field Groups

Review field group will contain custom fields for user and editor reviews.
Review fields are mostly used to ask reviewers for their experience with the listing they are reviewing.
You can also ask users for information about themselves so others reading their reviews know whether the reviewer is similar to them.

Examples:

Product listing reviews:

  • 'Product Experience' field group - ask reviewers for pros and cons of the product they are reviewing.
  • 'About Me' field group - ask reviewers about their age/age range, interests, level of expertise, ...

Company listing reviews:

  • 'Review' field group - ask reviewers are they satisfied with the company's services or products


By default, title of the Field Group will be displayed on your site above the custom fields. If you don't want do display it, uncheck it in "Show title" column.
