External link for Collections
Tag and display external links so they can appear in Collections and the state’s open data listing view.
Why use this content type?
External links for Collections expand the content options within a Collection by allowing you to tag links found outside Mass.gov.
This content type cannot be used in conjunction with any other content types. It is not needed for standard external links that appear elsewhere on the site.
