Creating an empty Page
Create an empty Page to specify the intended look & feel, structure and behavior of the corresponding published webpage. You create Pages within the Structure Groups of Publications. A Page has a Page Template, which specifies how the published webpage looks and behaves, and a Page Schema, which constrains the Regions and Component Presentations you can place on the Page.
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 that the Page needs:
- A Page Template, which defines how the published webpage looks and behaves
- A Page Schema, which constrains which Regions you can place on the Page, and which and how many Component Presentations you can place on the Page. The Page Schema also defines which metadata you can set for the Page. For backward compatibility purposes, a Page Schema is optional. If a Page is not based on a Page Schema, it can only contain Component Presentations, whose number and types are unrestricted.
- For backward compatibility, you can indicate that a (legacy) Page gets its metadata definition from a separate Metadata Schema, rather than from the Page Schema.
