Overview

Pages on DNN sites use several components to help admins make the site more searchable. These components include keywords, tags, hierarchy, tracking, scheduling, indexing, and more.

This article shares the process for site admins to create or modify pages and provides links to information about the various page settings. 

Prerequisites

• Access to a SuperUser Account or an Administrator account.

Solution

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Persona Bar > Content > Pages.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the page name to modify a page or click the Add Page or the Add Multiple Pages button to add new pages.
   
3. Edit Details to configure the page settings as described below:
   
   

   Field	Description
   [Page] Name	Required. Used in navigation.
   [Page] Title	Displayed as the browser window's title. Tip: The title is used by search engines to identify the information on the page. Include at least five highly descriptive words, and keep the title under 200 characters.
   [Page] Description	Information about the page.
   Keywords	Comma-separated keywords that can be used by search engines to help index your site's pages.
   Tags	Predefined tags that you can choose from the dropdown if any are defined in the Taxonomy Manager.
   Parent Page Branch Parent	The page under which the new pages should reside in the hierarchy.
   Display in Menu	If enabled, the page is included in the main navigation menu. If the page is not included in the navigation menu, you can still link to it using its URL.
   Link Tracking	If enabled, tracking links are created to determine where traffic to the page is coming from.
   Workflow	Predefined workflow states that you can choose from the dropdown.
   Enable Scheduling	Use this option to publish pages for a certain time. This is useful for pages sharing limited-time offers.
   Page Template	The template layouts are defined by the theme used in the site. You may import external templates from XML.
   XML File	The XML file containing the template to import.

   
   
   
4. Go to the Permissions tab to configure permissions for different roles to perform actions on the selected or newly created page.
5. Edit Advanced settings for pages.
   
   • In the Modules subtab, admins may edit or delete the modules on the page, as needed. Note: The Modules tab appears only when configuring standard pages.
   • In the Appearance subtab, configure how the page is displayed.
   • In the SEO subtab, configure SEO-related settings for the page.
   • In the More subtab, configure security and caching for the page.
     
     
6. Click Save.
7. Once a page has been created, admins can perform the following actions on it:
   • Hide it from users.
   • Link it with an asset, external URL, or an existing page.
   • Duplicate it and edit to create a similar page, saving time.
   • Delete, restore, or purge it.
