Creating recipe collections

What is a recipe collection?

A recipe collection is simply a grouping of recipes which are presented to your customers in the Collections screen. The groupings should make it more convenient for your customers to engage with your recipe content.

Collections are also a great way to group together weekly recipe updates for your users.

Creating collections

Each recipe collection is simply a recipe "board" in Smorg Studio that is published to your space. Here's what you need to do:

1. Create a recipe board in Smorg Studio

In Smorg Studio. go the Recipes screen (click here to access) and create a new recipe board by using the 3 dots navigation dropdown in the right hand corner, and select "Create a new recipe board"

2. Add new recipes into your board and organise

Add in recipes in the usual way (see here for instructions). Organise your recipes into menu lanes. Each menu lane will be used as a recipe category heading in the collection, and the board name becomes the collection name.

3. Edit the board meta data

Using the 3 dot navigation, select Edit recipe board and add a cover image. The cover image will be the thumbnail image that is displayed in the App Collections screen.

You can also include a Short Description which is published along with the collection, and appears at the top of the collection screen.

4. Publish your board

When you are happy with your board, you can publish your board to your space by selecting the Publish board to space menu item.

Once published, it will be seen almost immediately in the Collections screen in your end user App, and clicking into it will reveal the collection recipes. (see below).

5. Making changes

IMPORTANT: If you make any changes to your board after publishing it, you need to select the "Publish changes to your space" to send those changes to the end user App. You can also Unpublish a board.
