Add a New Term

This guide explains how to add content items to an existing EntityQueue.

Steps to Add an Item

  1. Navigate to the queue.

    • Go to Structure > EntityQueues in the admin navigation sidebar, or navigate to /admin/structure/entityqueue.

    • Find the queue you want to add an item to.

    • Click Edit items next to the queue.

  2. Add a new item.

    • In the queue editing form, you will see an autocomplete text field (typically labeled Add item or similar).

    • Begin typing the title of the content item you want to add.

    • As you type, an autocomplete dropdown will appear with matching content items.

    • Select the desired content item from the suggestions.

  3. Position the item.

    • The newly added item will appear at the end of the queue by default.

    • To change its position, drag and drop it to the desired location in the list.

  4. Save the queue.

    • Click Save to apply your changes.

    • The new item will now appear in the queue and will be reflected on any page or block that displays the queue's contents.

Adding Multiple Items

You can add multiple items in a single session:

  1. Add the first item using the autocomplete field.

  2. Repeat the process for each additional item.

  3. Reorder all items as needed using drag and drop.

  4. Click Save once to apply all changes at once.

Tips

  • Search by title. The autocomplete field searches content by title. Use distinctive keywords to find the right item quickly.

  • Check the queue type. Each queue is configured to accept specific entity types (e.g., only nodes of a certain content type). If you cannot find the item you are looking for, verify that it matches the queue's entity type configuration.

  • Queue limits. Some queues may have a maximum number of items. If the queue is full, you may need to remove an existing item before adding a new one.

  • Order matters. The order of items in the queue determines the order in which they appear on the site. Place the most important or newest items at the top if that is the desired display behavior.
