- Title - enter a title for the page. This is the name that the system will refer to the page as and the title that Internet users will see when they view it. Try to keep this title concise but informative. For example, a page detailing what a company does is probably better called 'About our company' than just 'Information'. You also have the option of selecting if you want the page title to be displayed or not. If you are not happy with how the page title is displayed you here have the option to upload it as an image.
- Template - you have been given the option to choose which template to use from the drop down box. An outline image of the template currently selected appears along side and you also have the option of a preview link to view your selection.
- Short name: (if necessary) Enter a "Short Name" of the page (abbreviation). This is what goes in the navigation bar if automatic navigation is in use.
- Select a "Navigation Subcategory" or enter a new one. This is used to group similar pages by giving them the same subcategory name here; separate levels with \, eg "A\B\C").
- Approved - Pages that are marked as "not approved" will not appear on the web site at all; linking to them will be rendered impossible until the page is marked as approved again. It can be useful to mark a page as not approved while the first draft of it is being edited; this ensures that it will not appear on the web site at all until you are ready to publish it. This feature can be used in conjunction with adding new users - you can add a new user and set their page editing privileges to "On Approval" which means that they will only be able to create and edit pages which are not approved. This gives you the freedom to delegate the creation of new web content to someone else without worrying about them publishing inappropriate information; nothing will appear on the web site until you mark a page as "approved", and once a page has been approved, the "On Approval" user will be unable to edit it further. See the User Administration section for further details. If you are unsure, leave "Approved" set to "Yes".
- Keywords - enter in the Keywords box words or phrases (we recommend no more than four word phrases) that you think Internet searchers might use to find this page - separated by commas. Only enter keywords here if they are different from the ones specified when completing the site administration.
- Description - into the Description box enter a short explanation of what the page is about in 10-25 words. This text will be displayed along with the page's title when a search engine lists it in its search results.
- Password Group - To restrict access to this page such that only people with a username and password can view it, select a password group here. To define password groups, click on "Edit password groups" at the top of the Page Listing page.
- News Item - If a page is marked as a news item, it will be listed in any "News" elements. To prevent this page from appearing until a particular date and time, set the "Publish Date" to the desired time. To mark this page as "old" such that it will only be listed on "News" elements that are set to "Archive Only", put the date and time it is to be archived into "Archive Date". To remove this page from the web site after a particular date and time, set the "Removal Date" to the desired time.
- Restrictions: Select from the drop down boxes, which restrictions you want to allocate to your site, allowing a page to disable right-clicking, text selection, and printing.
- Once this information has been entered, click on the Store Changes button and you will be returned to the updated Page Listing screen.
Deleting Pages
On the Page Listing screen click the "Delete multiple pages" button.The page listing screen will refresh so that next to each listed page is a selection box which can be ticked to select that page for deletion. If you require more than one page to be deleted, tick the boxes next to them and they will be deleted.
