You can add multiple positions to a position framework at once using a bulk action. When creating positions in bulk they will all be added to the same parent position and type in one action.
To bulk add positions, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Positions.
- Click Manage positions.
- Select the name of the position framework to which you want to add the position items.
- Select Add from the Bulk actions dropdown menu.
- Select the Parent position.
- Set the position Type.
- Enter each position you wish to add on a new line.
- Click Save changes.
Your new position items will now appear in the position framework.
The Parent position allows you to build parent-child relationships between the individual positions in your hierarchy framework. You must have at least one position set up in your framework for this option to be available. The default value is Top.
Types are containers for custom fields. When you assign a position to a type, the position inherits the custom fields associated with it. This is an optional field and can be left blank or set later.
