Creating Content Pages

Overview:

Content Pages are a tool that allows a worker to create custom web pages to display on the site.  These Content Pages utilize customize elements to be displayed, such as:

• Images
• Text
• Slide Shows
• Custom HTML Elements
• Page Content
• Featured Products

As well as Search Engine meta data settings for the Content Page, including the Content Page’s:

• Breadcrumb
• Name/URL
• Title
• Description
• Keywords

The worker can access the list of already created Content Pages by navigating to:

Content Workspace →  Content →  Pages 

in the Worker Portal.  You can also create a new Content Page by pressing the ‘+’ icon.

 

Step-by-Step Process:

To modify an existing Content Page, navigate to:

Content Workspace → Content → Pages

in the Worker Portal.  Then select ‘Edit’ under the Actions column for the Content Page you would like to edit.  You can also use the search bar at the top of the page to find the specific Content Page you are looking for.

To create a new Content Page, select the ‘+’ icon next to Pages.

You will first be asked how you want to build the page:

• Page Builder Editor — drag-and-drop, no coding required, for richer multi-section pages. See Page Builder Overview.
• Simple Editor — a traditional WYSIWYG editor, for straightforward content.

This choice cannot be changed later for that page. The sections described below apply to the Simple Editor. Pages created with the Page Builder Editor show a Launch Page Builder button, and the Normal Image, Description/Body, Featured Products, and Slide Show settings are replaced by the Page Builder canvas. Name/Title (labeled Internal Name/Title) and Internal Alias still appear.

Note: on versions prior to 4.16 these options are labeled “Use Page Builder” and “Use Legacy Editor.”

The page you are directed to when adding or modifying a Content Page is referred to as the Content Page Add/Edit page. The steps to filling out / modifying the information on this page will be broken down by section:

Note: Content Pages can no longer be designated as your site’s home page. The former “Home Page” option on this screen was retired in Release 2024.02 (4.9). Home pages are now built and published separately — see Page Builder Overview → Homepage Builder and Customer Site Design Settings → Retail Landing Page Settings. Home pages also do not appear in the Content → Pages list.

General Information:

• Status
  • Specify if you would like to show or hide the page on the site.
• Reference ID
  • A unique value that identifies the page internally. It is not shown on the public website. This field may be hidden depending on your site’s configuration.
• Sort Position
  • Typically only used with customizations.  
    • Unless there is a specific customization that you need to set this value for, it will most likely be left blank.
• Page Type
  • Applies to pages created with the Simple Editor. Available types:
    • Web Page – Blank — does not display the Name/Title at the top of the page
    • Web Page – Simple — displays the Name/Title you specify
    • Web Page – With Content Sections — see Creating Content Page Sections
    • Playlist – Media Player of Content Clips — only available if enabled for your site

Page Content:

• Name/Title
  • On Web Page – Simple, this displays at the top left of the page on the public website.
  • On Web Page – Blank and on Page Builder pages, it is used only as internal identification in the Worker Portal.
• Internal Alias
  • This setting is used for internal purposes only.  Most likely, it is safe to have this automatically created, but if a group of pages or the ability to find the page more easily in the manage section is needed, this is the field to set.
• Normal Image
  • An image that displays below the title.
• Description / Body:
  • The content of the Web Page.  You can click the ‘Source’ button to directly insert your own HTML (if you are familiar with HTML / CSS).  
  • This setting gives access to tools, similar to Microsoft Word, to insert and format text, insert images, create hyperlinks, among other common text editing features.

Featured Products:

Show Featured Products

• If you have the featured products module -and- you would like to show the defined featured products on this page.

On pages built with the Page Builder Editor this setting does not appear. Add featured products by dragging the Featured Products block onto the canvas instead.

Breadcrumb Trail:

The breadcrumb trail section allows you to create a custom breadcrumb trail that is used to navigate back to related pages. 

To configure this setting:

•  Enter the Link Name, which is what is displayed on the page to the end-user.
•  Enter the URL you would like the Link Name to redirect to.
•  You will then press the ‘+’ icon above the ‘Configured Breadcrumbs’ setting.
•  To modify or delete an existing breadcrumb, select the breadcrumb in the ‘Configured Breadcrumb’ setting, and select the ‘pencil’ or ‘-‘ icons respectively.
• The ‘clone’ icon above with ‘Configured Breadcrumb’ setting will clone one of the existing breadcrumbs.  You will need to highlight the breadcrumb you would like to clone first.

Slide Show Settings:

To add a slide show to your page:

• Slide Show Display — choose Display Above Content or Display Below Content. Leave as None to omit the slide show.
• Slide Show — select an existing slide show.

Not available on pages built with the Page Builder Editor.

Search Engine Settings:

Search Engine Settings allow you to configure SEO related settings.
