Page Editing

This page will explain the ease of adding and editing pages. Even adding the page to the menu is a simple matter of drag and drop.

First, go ahead and click on the Welcome button to see the option to Edit this Page. The system detects where you are and will go into edit mode on the page you are on if you have the permissions to do so. You can also access all pages by going to the Page List option on the Welcome dropdown. Now click on Edit Page

Now that you are in edit mode, you will see an area at the top allowing you to enter various fields. Title is to identify the page and display the title in the browser window. Page name is generated from this title when you first create the page. Category allows you to indicate whether this page is for public viewing or just members of a specific category.

An advanced feature is that you can schedule this page to only display on a certain date. This is useful when you have a page that has event information or some other date sensitive information to come and go when that event completes. You need page version control switched on to use this. Basically what you are doing is scheduling various versions of the page to show up at specific times.

Page versions allow you to look back at what a page held in the past or to revert back to a previous version.

Menu Title needs to be completed if you want this page to show on the menu. By completing this field, the page shows up under unallocated pages in menu maintenance. You can just drag and drop it to where you want it on the menu.

We've now reached the main content area. Remember you can right click the mouse for additional options like deleting a table row. The content area works pretty much like a word processor program and includes the standard functions including a spell checker.

The special icons in the middle of the top bar have the following functions:

Image Manager - allows you to select or upload, resize and place your images on the page
Flash Manager - allows you to select or upload flash content and set the required parameters to make it loop, size, etc
Media Manager - allows you to select or upload Microsoft based media files, videos and music files
Document Manager - allows you to select or upload documents you want to have linked on the page
Template Manager - Used to select a desired template when you initially create a page. This is very useful to have each page in a site remain consistant. It's also a great time saver.
Link Manager - manage and add the hyperlinks on the page

Now for the buttons on the bottom.
Save is used for saving while editing, Save and exit will allow you to exit after a save to return later. Publish page makes the page live, just saving it does not. Menu Maintainance allows you to insert the page into the menu, delete will remove all versions of the page and Cancel exits without saving.

You can also save your page as a template file for use in other pages, just add a template name and click on Save as Template to store a copy of this page in the templates folder.
