Pages

Pages allow you to lay out your content for the customer to browse.

Suggest Edits

There are currently two types of pages. Flex Pages and Info Pages. In the guide, we will focus on Flex Pages and refer to them simply as Pages

You can create as many Pages as you like. On each Page, you can add collections and banners and then define how they are presented to the user (i.e. in a row of content, and grid, large or small images).

Creating a page

  1. From the Content menu on the left, select Pages to expand it and click the + button.
  2. In the subsequent dialogue overlay add a name for you page. You can update the name later.
  3. As you type the page name, the Page Reference name will be auto-complete to match the Page Name, in the required format. You can edit this reference name now, but once you have created the page, you will no longer be able to amend it.
  4. In the Intial Window Template drop down select menu, ensure Flex Page is selected
  5. Click Create

🚧

The Page Reference can be edited before creating a Page, but it can not be amended once the Page has been created.

Page Elements are the collections and banners which are displayed on your page. You can add them to the page in the order you would like them to be displayed and define the style of each element.

When a collection is added to the Page Elements list, it uses the Swimlane style by default. You can change this at anytime.

A Banner Slot is like an empty billboard, waiting for an actual banner ad to be attached to it.
