Creating a Page
Create a page for your site based on several templates:
Page Type | Description | Further Reading |
---|---|---|
Blank Page | A basic page containing a dynamic header and a single generic paragraph. | |
Model Host | A page that includes a dynamic reference to a KnowledgeKube model, which will display the contents of that model when the page loads. | Publishing a Site |
Model Data Browser | A page containing a list of saved form data associated with one or more models in the current repository. You can use this list as a means of accessing the saved data, which can then be viewed and modified as required. | |
User Login | A page containing a control that lets users log into your site using a valid ID and password. | |
Main Menu | A page containing a customisable grid of interactive hyperlinks. | Creating a Main Menu |
Selecting any of these options will open the Add New Page window where you can edit the page. Depending which of them you choose you will see a difference in the page structure and its properties.
Implementation:
- Open the Site Map Inspector by clicking the Pages tile within the Content Delivery tab.
- Click the Site Node.
- Use the New toolbar and select the type of page you want to add. Refer to the table at the top to familiarise yourself with the options that are available.
- Switch to the General Details panel and use it to specify basic information about the selected page, including its name and unique identity.
If you are creating a Model Host or Model Data Browser page, the Model Reference option will be available. Select a KnowledgeKube model from your repository to associate it with the selected page. This option will not appear when the page is edited. This setting serves to generate the page's initial markup, which you can modify later using the HTML Page Content panel.
- Switch to the HTML MetaData panel to view and manage content assigned to your selected page.
- Switch to the Access Control panel to manage who can access your site.
- Switch to the HTML Page Content to modify your selected page's markup, and view what it's going to look like when it's accessed online.
- (Model Data Browser Only) Switch to the Model Data Browser panel to specify which model keywords you want the browser to display.
- Click Save to create the new page.
- Use the Site Map Inspector menu to select Tools > Publish Changes > Pages, which publishes the page and makes it visible on the site.
