Creating and Managing Display Page Templates

A Display Page Template specifies the layout and formatting for your content and displays it at a unique friendly URL.

A Display Page Template displays your content at a friendly URL with the formatting and design you create.

Display Page Templates are only supported for web content, documents, and blog entries.

Creating a Display Page Template

  2. Click the Display Page Templates tab.

    Go to Page Templates, and click on the Display Page Templates tab.

  3. Click Add (Add).

  4. Enter a name for your template and select a content type and subtype, if applicable. Then click Save. This redirects you to a new, blank Display Page template.

    Select the content type and subtype for your new template.

  5. Begin editing your template using the same editing interface and page elements as Content Pages.

    Build your template using Content Page elements.

  6. Once you’ve added Page elements, you can map them to content structure fields (e.g., title, description) by double-clicking on an editable field. Mapped fields are outlined in purple.

    Map Page elements to structure fields.

    See Configuring SEO and Open Graph to learn about using these mapped structure fields when configuring SEO and Open Graph settings for your Display Page.

  7. When finished, click Publish to save your work.

Now that your Display Page Template is created, you can publish your content with it.
