Connect Data
Once you can access data from within Builder, connect your data to a content entry using the Data tab.
Note: This doc assumes you are connecting to data you stored within Builder, which is detailed in Create Data. For more information on connecting external data, see Connect Existing Data.
What to know
- Connect individual data entries or a list of entries within the Data tab of the Visual Editor.
The Data tab
Data binding takes place within the Data tab of the Visual Editor. On a Builder content entry, choose your data using the Connect Data panel with the following steps:
- Click the Data tab. This tab has an icon resembling a cylinder with two lines across it.
- Click the Connect Data panel.
- Click + Add Data.
- Choose Builder.io as your data source.
- Select a Data model to connect to your Page.
You have the option of filtering data by Entry or by Query.
- To select a single data entry, choose Entry.
- To select a list of entries associated with a Data Model, choose Query.
If you choose Query, you will be presented with a few options for how to query your data. These options are covered in more detail in Bind Data.
