Creating a page

Create pages and page labels to from the site toolbar without leaving the context of your website.

About this task

Projects

You can create new pages without using projects. However, projects group changes into a collection that can be submitted for review and then published at the same time. If you plan to make multiple changes across your site, use a project to group your changes.

Templates and labels
When you create a page, you can select a template to use. The templates make page creation faster and consistent. If your organization has common page layouts, your site administrator can create a collection of site templates for you to select from. To get started, three templates are provided for immediate use: Articles, Basic, and Label.
  • The article page template includes the article and list of article portlet.
  • The basic page template is an empty page with a two-column layout.
  • The label is an organization element. The first child page under a label displays when you click the label in the navigation. You cannot associate content with a label.

Procedure

  1. Open the site toolbar and turn on the edit mode. The edit mode is a toggle control.
  2. Click Create. Page is the first tab under Create.
  3. Select a template from the available templates.
  4. Provide a page title that your site visitors see.
  5. The system recommends a friendly name. The friendly name is used in the URL for the page to make the URL easy to remember and type.
  6. Select the placement of that page relative to the page that you are viewing. If you create the page in the wrong place, you can move it later.

Results

After you create the page you are prompted to edit the page information, change the layout, or add content. Select the add content option to start populating your page with content.
