radio button group
|
Use this radio button group to select the new page's parent page. The section determines where the page sits in the hierarchy of pages.
Choose between the following:

This will be a top level page that has no parent.
- Under parent page…
A treeview with existing pages appears.
Select the page that will be parent of the page you are creating.

The URL is automatically generated based on the page name that you have chosen and the hierarchy of the page (the URL of its parent). The URL determines the new page's website address.
You can choose a custom URL by clicking Change button and entering the new name in the input field that appears.
This overwrites the automatically generated URL. When you enter a custom URL, the URL of the page no longer changes when the place of the page in the hierarchy changes.
To restore the automatically generated URL of the page, click Change » Edit URL structure » Restore to default structure.

Show in navigation |
If you deselect the Show in navigation checkbox, the page is not displayed in the automatically generated navigation. The page can be viewed only if linked or accessed directly. You can also control the page access by the page's permissions.

Group page |
If you select the Use this page only to group other pages checkbox, the page you are creating is going to be a group page.
Group pages serve as containers for other pages. Group pages do not have their own content. When you open a group page it redirects to its first subpage (child).
|
Page redirect |
If you select This page redirects to another page checkbox, it means the page you are creating does not have its own content. When a user opens the page, it redirects to another page or an external page.

Title for search engines |
The title used by search engines is automatically generated based on the page name you have chosen.
You can choose another title by entering a new title or deleting the automatically generated one.
The page title that you enter in this field is used in search engine results, web browser bookmarks and the web browser's title. The title must be descriptive.
EXAMPLE: XYZ Company - Company Information.
NOTE: By default, the title of the page is overridden by the title of the content it displays. You can change this behavior in the Advanced configuration of widgets of the respective widget, by changing property PageTitleModes to one of the following:
