Content Modelling
Content modelling in Sitecore Content Hub comes in two forms: pre-defined content models and free-form content modelling:
Pre-Defined Content Model Templates:
- DAM allows the management of media files (assets) & products as a core data type
- CMP allows the management of content marketing materials
- MRM allows the management of projects and campaigns
Free-Form Content Modelling: Templates can be configured to new data types and structure that can be related to any assets, products, content, and campaigns.
For example, a media company can create a model to match their business needs: channels, series, seasons, episodes, and actors.
It is important to note that more complex product hierarchies may not be supported by the out-of-the-box pre-defined content models, and may need a free-form content modelling subscription.
