Add & Manage Linked Pages

This article will show you how to create a linked page. All a linked page can do is display a link to another page.

Guest Rights for Linked Pages

If your page is set up as a link, the page's guest view permissions will be set based on the destination page. If the destination page allows public viewing access, then the linked page will also allow public viewing, regardless of its own permission properties.

Additionally, if a destination page has disabled its guest rights, the linked page will also have disabled guest rights.

Create a Linked Page

Instructions

1. Navigate to the page you want to add the link page to
2. Ensure that Live Edit is On
   
3. In the left-hand column, select Add Page 
   
4. Check the Linked Page box and complete the Link fields
   
   • Linked Page: Check the box for the linked page
   • Link: Paste the URL for your page or start typing the name or ID if it is an internal page
   • Link Target: Choose if you want the page to open in the same window or a new window
   • Use Menu: The link will use the fly-outs from the page you link to if it has any sub-pages and is within your site
     
     Note: If the Use Linked Page's Menu option is enabled for a Linked Page, the subpages of the Linked-to page will display and any subpages of the Linked page will not show on the site map. If the page on which this option is enabled has sub-pages before this option is enabled, those pages will no longer display in the Site Map, meaning those sub-pages will effectively be hidden from both front and back-end users.
5. Complete the remaining fields
   
   
   • Title: Title of the page
   • Menu Text: Displays in the navigational menus
   • Always Use Page Title for Menu Text: Menu Text will automatically match the Page Title when submitted or saved page versions are published
   • Department Header (optional feature): Make this page a Department Header
   • Description: Brief summary of the page (1,000 character limit)
   • Keywords: Input keywords to assist in search functionalization (separate with commas)

   • Image: Choose an image to represent the page
   • Hidden: Hide the page to remove it from menus
