HOWTO: Add a Page

A web page is made up of text, graphics, and links, and can be in HTML or plain text format.

1. To add page content, navigate to the folder where you want to add the page.  This could be your my folder or a folder in a group that you are associated with.

2. Click the add item dropdown menu and select page.  The Edit Page screen appears.

3. Click in the Title field and give the page a short title.   The Title is used to identify your page to portal visitors, and in searches.  This is required.

4. Click on the Description field and type a description.  A description is a one-paragraph text abstract. It accurately and concisely describes your page though inclusion of key words.  Accurate keywords in the description ensure that the content will be found during a search.  This is required.

5. Click the Body Text field and type the body of your page. Body Text is the text content of your page.  Body text can include formatted text, pictures and links to other web page content. This is required.

Assuming that you have selected Kupu as your default page editor (see the section in Setting Preferences on setting Kupu as your default text editor) simply type the content that you wish to appear on the page.

Otherwise, we suggest that you set the text format dropdown menu to Plain Text.

6. For the purposes of this tutorial, you can ignore Related items.

7. Decide if you want other logged-in portal users to be allowed to comment on your page.  By default, comments are disabled.

• To enable comments, scroll to Allow Discussion on this item and click the Enable bullet. 
• To disable comments, click the Disable bullet to prevent discussion on this item.

8. Click the Save button.  Your page will be permanently saved.  If you do not click Save, your page will not be created and saved for future use.

10. Your page is created in a private state that only you the owner, and those users and groups that your share with, can view. Using the state dropdown menu, you may choose to:

a. Change the state of your page to public draft, and:

b. Either submit your page for review and publication by portal editorial staff, or;

c. If you have permission to do so, publish your page yourself.

d. For more information on setting state, see Content has a State.
