Add a Basic Page
To add a basic page:
- Hover over 'content' on the top toolbar, then hover over 'add content', then click 'basic page'.
- Enter in the following options:
- 'General' tab
- 'Page heading' - This is the title of the page. Use Title Case.
- Keep 'Page type' as 'Default', unless you are an editor for the Sheriff or County Attorney's office
- 'Contact' tab
- If you would like a contact box on the right side of the page, choose a department or division in the 'Department/Division' drop down.
- Other options for contact boxes are available in the 'Alternate Contact Callout' dropdown. If you use an alternate contact callout, check the box above the dropdown.
- 'Menu settings' tab
- 'Menu link title' - should autofill based on the page heading. This is the text that shows up in the left navigation for the page.
