Creating a page

Creating an Insiders page

• Select Insiders Pages from the dropdown on the left hand side

• Right click Insiders (Asset ID 8592851)
• Hover over “Create new - Pages & click on Standard Page.
• Create new standard page

• Give the page a title & make Link Type “Hidden Link”

• When the first asset is created, you’ll be prompted with a success window, click on edit.

• On the details screen, Click on the Metadata tab.
• Under SEO, add the description, you can add it twice but the first one is the data that gets picked up by search engines. The second description gets populated underneath the page title within the black strip - like on the See & Do page.
• Usually this is the lead paragraph so no need to add it to the second description field, Up to you…

Layout

• Change the column layout option to Wide (12 col content and 12 Col Right Column)
• Scroll down to the bottom of the page
• Check the required categories.

• Click arrow to open Insider thumbnails
• Right click on the image, select Use me

• Once that is done, click save

Changing the status

Approve & make live to view the page on Insiders, hit save.

Schedule a future post to go live

If you want to make a scheduled post

While keeping the page "Under construction", click on the “Add future status” button

Select set status to live & fill out the date/time etc.

Hit save

Multiple status updates

You can also add multiple future status updates, for example if you want to set a page to go live & archive at a future date, we follow the same process but set an additional status to be archived or to not be visible to the public - Under construction.

You have to save the page after each future status update.

Content

On the details screen, click on “Content”, this is where you’ll build up your page.

Not all pages need to be displayed the same. Depending on what content and images are provided there are a number of content containers that can display the content attractively (a couple of examples are shown below).

To build up the page, we'll use the  Content container templates, you can view all these on the Insiders style components page

If you're unsure about the templates, have a look at some older Insiders pages & see how they were produced.

Adding a component

For example we'll add the Insiders Lead Paragraph

Click on the plus icon

This will reveal a side panel with a list of components that you can use.

Scroll down the component list to the bottom & click on Insiders Lead Paragraph

Add some text & hit save.
