Data types

All objects and some selected fields in the template are explained below. Please refer to our Bubble Best Practices document for guidance on how the Bubble database should be structured.

All data types and a few select fields are explained below. A good general rule to follow is that you shouldn't delete any fields that are included with the template and instead only add new ones.

Website

This data type includes fields for all app-wide settings. Most of the data fields are controlled by the App admin from the Admin portal. There should only be a single object of this data type.

Field name	Type	Description
Ask for cookies?	yes / no	App Owner can control whether or not to ask users to accept cookies (if yes, a cookies banner will show on the homepage)
Email	text	Contact / support email that all emails in the application come from. Whenever a new email action is created in the application, it should refer to this field instead of being hardcoded
Email HTML	text	Used in the SendGrid API call for "send emails" that generates a nicely-formatted HTML email
Email verification required?	yes / no	App owner can control whether or not to require users to verify their emails during the sign up process (if yes, users will receive an email that contains a verification link and they will need to click the link to verify their emails)
Name	text	Name of your app / website. This is the field that should be referenced anywhere where the name is used (instead of hardcoded).

This data type allows you to quickly preview your page layout by it as your data source. This is filler data for designers to create the UI.

These fields can be used to see what the UI of a page looks like with given types of data, which is helpful when you want to focus on the design and ignore the content. Building this way is also great when the designer isn't familiar with the data structures for a particular design.
