Creating an empty Page
Create an empty Page to specify the intended structure and behavior of the corresponding published content. You create Pages within the Structure Groups of Publications.
Before you begin
To create a Page, you must have Page Management rights, as well as write permissions for the containing Structure Group.
About this task
When you create a Page, you initially specify the basic building blocks of the Page as follows:
- You select a Page Template to define how the published webpage is generally constructed and behaves. The Page Template is required regardless of the publishing model being used.
- In a template-based publishing model, the Page Template normally includes Template Building Blocks that define branding and other design elements. ,
- In a data-only publishing model, selecting a Page Template is required although the Page Template itself is empty, that is, with no Template Building Blocks. The look and feel of content is removed from the template and done instead by the application that uses the published content, such as a website, mobile app or a kiosk display screen.
- When using Regions, map a Region Schema to the Page Template to define the Page structure.
- The Page Template typically designates a Page Schema, which defines a Page structure with one or more Regions. The exception is if your organization is not using Regions. When present, each Region also has a Region Schema. Both the Page Schema and Region Schemas may constrain the content you can place on the page as follows:
- The Page Schema can restrict the number and types of Components (or Component Presentations) you can place on the Page. If a Page has nested Regions, this restriction applies only to the top level of the Page and excludes the nested Regions.
- The individual Region Schemas can further restrict the number and types of Components (or Component Presentations) you can place specifically in each Region.
- The Page Schema or Region Schema(s) may also define metadata that you can (or must) define for the Page or a Region.
