Share more by adding pages to your site. Pages can be used to give details on specific content, such as work done by a particular department or team, or they can add depth by focusing on a specific topic relative to a project or goal. There is no limit to the number of pages you can create. You can also add the same page to more than one site so that relevant content can be shared quickly in multiple places.
To get started, you must have created a site or have administrative privileges to manage a site's pages. Click the Sites tab in the admin application, then click the Pages button on the appropriate site. Additionally, the Pages manager is available as a tab under Site Configuration. This tab is where you add and delete pages, edit page layout, and determine sharing settings.
Add a new page
To get started, you must have already created a site or have administrative privileges to manage a site's pages. When you create a new page, an item is created in your Content page. Your page and this item are linked. It is important that this item is not deleted. If the page item is deleted in portal, the page will be deleted. The page item is automatically shared with the team so members from the Team tab can edit the page.
The full page URL will be https://webadaptorhost/webadaptorname/apps/sites/#/your-site-name/pages/your-new-page.
- Click the Sites tab in the administrative application, then click the Pages button on the appropriate site. Pages can also be accessed by clicking Settings, then choosing the Pages tab.
- Click New Page.
- Provide a name for the page. The name you provide is also used to automatically generate the page URL. Spaces will be replaced with hyphens and all special characters will be removed. Each page URL Is preceded with /pages/. You can read more about editing the URL for a page in the Edit page URL section of this documentation.
- Click Next.
- Your new page is added to the list automatically.
Edit page URL
The text at the end of your page's URL is called a slug. It can be modified to help you achieve a consistent web experience that aligns with your organization's existing standards.
- From the Site Manager or from within an individual site configuration, click Pages.
- Click the edit button next to the right of the page URL.
- Enter a new slug.
- Click the check mark to save your new slug or click the cancel button to start over.
Tip:
A page's slug can also be edited within the Page Editor under the Page Information drop-down menu. Enter text for a new slug under Page Slug. Click Save, then click View Page to see your new slug.
Design page layout
The Layout Builder experience for pages is the same as it is for sites. However, within the Layout Builder for a page you will not be able to edit the header or footer of the page as these are inherited from the site to which the page is being added.
- After adding a page, click the pencil icon under Actions.
- The layout editor will open with a default template.
- Click the gear in the upper left corner to access the side bar.
- Use the Layout Builder to configure the layout of your page.
- Click View Page to view your page outside of the editor.
Change page sharing settings
Share your page with your team, your organization, or publicly. Pages can be shared differently from their sites. For example, a privately shared page that belongs to a public site will only be accessible to those who have access to view it upon signing in.
- Click the Sites tab in the administrative application, then click the Pages button on the appropriate site. Pages can also be accessed by clicking Settings, then choosing the Pages tab.
- Sharing options are provided as icons next to your page's slug. Select from the following options to adjust the visibility of your site:
- Share with the team- select the first icon to share the page with members of your team. Team members must sign in to access the page.
- Share with the public- select the third icon to share the page publicly.
Note:
Create Hyperlinks
When you want to create a hyperlink to a page you need to use the HTML <a> syntax to insert the link. If you use a relative path in the <a> tag instead of the absolute path, you will prevent a full page refresh when you click on the link.
- Edit the Site or Page where the link should go.
- In a text card on the Page or Site, insert an <a> tag where you want the link to be.
- Copy the Slug of the target Page from the Pages tab of your Site to the href="" attribute of your <a> tag. For example <a href="#/mysite/pages/target-page">Visit the linked page</a>
- Save your Site and click Preview Site and test out the new link.
Note:
If you wish to have the link open in a new tab, append target="_blank" directly after your href attribute on the <a> tag.
Use a single page on multiple sites
You can re-use a single page on multiple sites from the Sites tab inside the administrative application.
If you have a page currently being used by a particular site and you want to use it on another site, follow these steps:
- Visit the Sites tab within the admin app.
- Under your the site which you wish to add an existing page, click Pages.
- Click Link Page to see a list of all pages in your organization.
- Select the page you wish to import onto your site.
- Confirm the details of your selected page and change the page URL.
