The Page Creation Wizard is available to the portal's administrators and facilitates them to create and publish portal pages quickly and easily. The whole process to create a new page can be divided into 3 specific steps:
Select a navigation node and create the page
In the first step, you have to set Node Name and Display Name of your page. You are also able to decide the pages visibility and the publication period of the page.
Hover your cursor over My Sites and click one portal/site to which you want to add a new page from the drop-down menu.
You will be switched to your selected portal only after a few seconds.
Hover your cursor over Edit on the Administration bar.
Select Page --> Add Page from the drop-down menu to open the Page Creation Wizard form.
The wizard is divided into two sections.
The left pane contains existing pages/nodes displayed in the tree hierarchy. Here, you can navigate up and down the node/page structure.
The right pane displays Page Editor where you can make changes on the selected navigation node. You can input parameters for your new page in this pane.
Details:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Selected Page Node | The path of the selected node to add a new sub-page. |
Node Name | The node name of the added page. This field is required with its length between 3 and 30 characters. |
Extended Label Mode | Tick the checkbox to show the Language field for you to select another language for your created node's display name. It means that if this checkbox is deselected, the Language field will be deactivated. |

This checkbox toggles the global visibility of this page. If this option is checked, the page or the page node appears on the navigation bar, the page navigation and the sitemap. If "Visible" is checked, the visibility also depends on the Publication Date & Time option. If not being unchecked, the page is hidden under any circumstances, even if the publication period is valid. |
Publication Date & Time | This option allows the page to be published for a given period. If this option is checked, Start Publication Date and End Publication Date will be shown. |
