Data Objects Overview

Data Objects allow you to store and manage reusable structured data across your app.

They are ideal for content that appears in multiple places, such as:

• FAQs
• Blog entries
• Product highlights
• Policies
• Store locations
• Promotional banners

Instead of re-entering the same information repeatedly, you can create it once and reuse it throughout your app.

Example Use Case: FAQs

If you use an FAQ block on multiple pages and want the same questions and answers displayed everywhere, you can:

• Create an FAQ Data Object
• Add your questions and answers once
• Connect that Data Object to any FAQ block

This ensures consistency and saves time.

Using a Data Object in Your App

Once your Data Object is created, you can use it within your pages.

For example:

1. Navigate to a page
2. Add an FAQ Block
3. Choose the FAQ source

You’ll have two options:

• Inline Content — manually enter questions and answers
• Custom Data Object — select your created FAQ Data Object

When selecting the Data Object, all stored entries will automatically populate.
