Homepage Featured Collections example

Published Collection records become cards in the homepage Featured Collections carousel. Image, Title, and CardText provide the primary card content; MaterialTypes supplies the orange icons; Size supplies the item count; and ContentTypes supplies the card classification. The rank field controls which records appear first.

Material type icons

Every value selected in MaterialTypes adds an orange icon to the upper-right area of the Collection card.

Strapi MaterialTypes value	Card icon	Tooltip
Textual		Textual
Moving Image		Moving image
Audio		Audio
Still Image		Still image

Collections can have several material types. The card displays one icon for each selected value, in the order stored by Strapi. On desktop, pointing at an icon displays its localized tooltip.
