Create a New Page

New pages must be added as subordinates (children) of a container (parent) page. If the page you’re viewing is a container page, you’ll see the  Add New Page Icon in the middle group of the page footer or header. If this icon isn’t present, you must make it a container page before you can add a child page.

  1. While viewing the page that will be the parent of the new page, click the Add Page Icon (in the middle of the page footer).

    If you don’t see the Delete icon , you don’t have permission to delete pages.

  2. In the Page Navigation section:

    Step One Replace New Untitled Page with the name by which you want the page to be known.

    Step Two Generally, leave this as is. When you create a child page, SBT assumes you want the new page included in the navigation panel of the parent page.

    All such navigation links are included in alphabetical order—unless you change this value.

    • A positive value less than 99 identifies the page as one in a group that will be sequenced above those with the 99 value. Thus, if you give one group of pages the value 50 and another group a value of 70, the links are sequenced in the navigation panel with all the 50-numbered pages in alphabetical order, followed by the 70-numbered pages in alphabetical order, followed by the 99-numbered pages in alphabetical order.

    • Any negative value indicates the page’s link should not appear in the navigation panel, making the page available only by an explicit link in another page. This typically is appropriate for detail pages linked from a main page that you omit from the navigation panel to minimize clutter.

    Step Three Active generally is the correct option. Selecting Inactive allows you to create and publish the page (save it to the website), but keeps it hidden from users. Selecting Deleted marks the page for deletion; it’s not gone from the system—it’s just hidden from view and flagged for later deletion.

     

  3. In the Page Control section:

    Step Four You may be allowed to select a different page template (this typically is restricted to site administrators and webmasters).

    Step Five Click Yes only if this page will be a parent to other child pages. It’s more efficient to leave No selected if you’re not sure. You may always change this as described in Modify an Existing Page to be a Container Page on page 4.

    Step Six No generally is a good choice. Opening too many browser windows can confuse users.

    Step Seven You may make the page visible for a specific time period by specifying a start and/or stop date.

    Step Eight Click the Continue button. SBT returns you edit mode.

     

  4. Click Publish to save the new page on the website.
