Creating custom content pages
If you cannot meet your objectives by customizing any of the pre-built landing pages, you can create and configure custom content pages to supplement the pre-built pages. Your site includes templates that you can use to create content pages. You create a copy of the template and then configure it. The templates that you use are pre-linked to the appropriate landing pages, but you must map the new page to a specific section of the landing page.
Note: If you are adding multiple pages in one sitting, you can save
time by adding multiple pages before moving on to the next step.
When you have finished adding the custom page, described in the steps here, you must complete these steps, which are described in detail elsewhere in this guide:
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Name the page | The new content page has a generic name. Give it a new name that reflects its subject matter. When you name the page, the page title and any links to the page are set. |
| Set group access | When you add a page, you must assign access to the groups whose users you want to have permission to view the page after it is published. |
| Specify the landing page where the link to the new page is displayed | The landing page is preset, based on the template you copied when you created the new content page. If you want to change the landing page, configure the subject data item on the new page. |
| Specify the section in which the link to the new page is displayed on the landing page | Configure the section data item on the new page. |
| Rename the topic | Change the topic name so the search engine can identify the page. The topic name can be identical to the document name. |
| Populate with content | Add text and links. |
| Publish the page | When the new content page is ready to be rolled out to your workforce, you must publish it to the live site. |
