Managing Pages from the Menus & Pages Library

iAPPS Content Manager allows you to manage pages from two areas: the Menus and Pages Library interface and from the contextual Site Editor. For some tasks it's easier to use the menu-based interface available in the Administrative sections of Content Manager.This might be the case, for example, when you are adding a new section of the site and creating a lot of pages at one time. There are also some tasks, such as delete pages,which require you to use the Admin UI. For most tasks, though, you'll likely use Site Editor. See "Using Site Editor to Manage Content Pages"

The following table lists the actions available for managing pages from Menus and Pages Library and Site Editor: Most tasks are available in both interfaces, but some are only available in one or the other. See the table below for a list of tasks and where you can accomplish them.

To access the Menus & Pages library, select Manage Site Assets > Libraries > Menus and Pages in the main navigation menu.

The Menus & Pages container appears, displaying:

• Left pane - Tree hierarchy of Menu groups and menu items
• Right pane - List of pages associated with any highlighted menu item

To work with a page:

1. Click the arrow to the left of a Menu Group to expand it.
2. Click on a menu item to view a list of the pages stored under it.
3. Select a page in the page list and select the appropriate options from the Menu Buttons at the top of the grid.

Options include:

• Edit Page Properties
• Edit Page (will switch you to Site Editor),
• Reimport from Master
• On the More Menu
  • Connect to a Menu
  • Delete
  • Archive/Make Active
  • Publish
  • View History

You can also copy or move Pages from one Menu Item to another.

Whichever page (if any) is attached to the highlighted menu node will have a link icon next to it.

See "Working in the Menus and Pages Library"for more on managing Directories and Menu items.

Publishing a Page from Menus & Pages

To publish a page from the Menus & Pages Library:

1. Navigate to the page using the Menu Tree and Page Listing.
2. Highlight the Page and choose Publish from the More drop-down menu.

If you have permissions to publish, the page will publish immediately and you will get a dialog box confirming publication.

If the page has a workflow applied to it, the Submit to Workflow interface will appear instead.

 

Moving and Copying Pages

You can move pages from one directory to another.

1. Highlight the page you would like to move. Click and drag the page towards the menu item where you would like to move or copy it. A box will appear around the menu item. Once you have the page in place, release.
2. A Dialog box will ask if you would like to Move the Page, Link the Page (create an identical linked copy), or Copy the Page (create a new page that initially copies the content of the existing page).
3. A redirect will be automatically created for the page from its old URL to a new one.
