PAGE PROPERTYOVERVIEW
NameThe page name that you choose is used by the system to create auto-generated navigation links (the page Url). The name should be as concise as possible. The name is what will appear in the menu.
Put this page

This is a radio selection where you choose:

  • “At the top level” of your website menu or
  • “Under a parent page”. Selecting this option will bring up a list of all existing pages. Select the page that will be parent of the page you are creating. (This will place this page as a secondary menu item under the page selected)

    Note: You must click the Done button when selecting a parent page.
Url and NavigationThe Url will be automatically generated by the CMS based on the Page Name. (This can be changed but is not recommended) If you un-check the Show in navigation” checkbox, the page is not displayed in the automatically generated menu. The other commonly used option is “Use this page only to group other pages.” Checking this option means that this page will not have its own content, but will automatically redirect to its first sub page.
Title for search enginesThis can be more descriptive than the Page Name and will be displayed as the main header on the page as well as in the Title bar of the browser.
