Adding pages to a space

If you can edit a space, you can add a page to it, to fulfill the purpose of the space.

Before you begin

Too many pages in a space impacts performance. The recommended maximum is 10 pages. Try to limit the pages in a space to the ones that are necessary for the purpose of the space.

Procedure

  1. If the business space is not open:
    1. Click Manage Spaces. The Space Manager opens.
    2. Click the name of the space. The Space Manager closes and the space that you selected opens.
      Tip: You can also add a page by clicking Actions > Create page.
  2. In the banner, click the Create a Page icon create a page icon. The Create Page window opens.
  3. Type the page name and description into the appropriate fields. The name cannot contain the following characters: @ / \ : * ? " < > |
    Tip: When you create a page, the title and description that you provide serve as default values in all languages. You can then switch languages and replace those default values with the appropriate translations. For example, imagine that your browser is set to an English locale and you then create a page. If you switch the locale to French, the name of the page is still in English, but you can rename it with a French name. After you do so, users who have their browsers set to the French locale see the French name, while English users continue to see the English name. By switching to other locales you can incrementally add translated page names and descriptions for other locales as well.
  4. Select the type of page that you want to create:
    • Select Create an empty page to create a page that does not contain widgets.
    • Select Create a page by duplicating another page to create a page based on an existing page in the space. From the list, select the page that you want to copy.
  5. Click OK.

Results

The new page opens in edit mode and displays the editing toolbar.
Remember: If there are too many pages in the space for your browser to display all of their tabs, you can see an overflow indicator >> along with the number of pages in the overflow. You can access one of these overflow pages by selecting the indicator and then selecting the page from the list that opens.
Tip: If you are creating a page by duplicating an existing page, there might be translations for its widgets contained within the original page. To override a translation (or a default value inherited from another language if there is no translation ), set your browser to a locale and then rename the widget. If you create an empty page, the name that you provide serves as a default value for all languages. You can replace the default values in the same way as you would replace existing translations.

What to do next

You can now customize the page by setting its layout and adding widgets to the page.
