Assign at the Page Level

Author: David Klanac

The page level is the highest level in the block/stylesheet assignments hierarchy. Therefore, assignments that are inherited from configuration sets can be overridden at the page level with different blocks/stylesheets.

For pages needing unique block configurations, you can override any preset blocks or stylesheets at the page level. NOTE: Assignments made at the page level will produce a small * character next to the particular configuration that was overridden (i.e. HTML becomes HTML*) when viewing the page again.

Example:

Your Site map uses a specific index block and unique stylesheet. Rather than setting up a configuration set that will only be used for one page, you can override the configurations on the actual page.

How to Assign:

1. Select your page from the left asset tree, and click Edit.
2. Click on the Configurations tab for a list of current configurations.
3. Select the desired configuration (i.e. HTML or PDF) by clicking the Edit icon.
4. All of the currently defined regions appear, including file chooser icons to select blocks and stylesheets for each region.
5. If the selected configuration has blocks or stylesheets already assigned to various regions, these will appear alongside the region names.
6. To assign a block or stylesheet, click on the appropriate file chooser icon, and select the desired block or stylesheet from the pop-up asset menu. Any currently assigned blocks or stylesheets may be overridden by clicking on the delete icon, or by selecting a new file from the chooser.
7. Click Submit to save your changes. These assignations will appear only on the current page.
