Pages

In general practice, new pages are created from Asset Factories that are customized to predetermine various configurations.  However, Administrators may have the need to create new pages entirely from scratch.

To create a new page:

  1. Determine where you want to store the new page, and select the folder from the asset tree on the left side.  The location of a page in the system will determine its location on the web server when published.
  2. Once in the desired folder, use the top navigation menu and select New-> Default-> Page.
  3. On the Content pane:
    Use the WYSIWYG to add your page content.
  4. On the Metadata pane:
    Enter any metadata desired.  You may also attach a custom Metadata Set to change the User Metadata options.
  5. On the System pane:
    Name     - Type in a name for your page.
    Parent Folder     - By default, this will be the current folder; however, this can be overridden by selecting a different folder in the folder chooser.
    Configuration Set     - Assign the appropriate Configuration Set for this page.  The Configuration Set will determine what templates and targets are associated with the page and how various page regions will be populated.                                                                                                                                         Data Definition - These fields allow you to replace the WYSIWYG with a custom data definition.
    Rewrite Links - Determines whether absolute links should be rewritten as relative.
    Publish - Determines whether this page should be published.
    Index - Determines whether this page should be included with dynamic navigation or other indexing features.
  6. On the Configurations pane:
    This will show a list of all regions available for each configuration.  You may toggle between the various configurations and select blocks and stylesheets for any regions desired.
  7. Click Submit to save your page.

Additional Notes

When you assign a new Configuration Set, Metadata Set, or Data Definition, you may have to submit the page and then return to the Edit tab in order to Edit the page with the new assignments in place.
