What should you use the Basic page content type for?
The Basic page content type is intended for content that doesn't change often, such as About pages or pages about administrative policies. It is also the primary page type for using Layout Builder to create more complex page layouts for homepages, major portal pages, or special campaigns.
Basic page sections
- Title - required. Text entered will be used as the title of the page, included in the breadcrumbs, and become the page's URL unless otherwise configured.
- Summary - Enter the text you would like to use as a brief, custom teaser OR leave blank and the system will use a trimmed segment of the body text instead.
- Body - A WYSIWYG interface provides you the means of adding in your page's main content. If the Summary section is left blank, teaser locations will use up to the first 600 characters of your Body content by default.
- Edit summary - By default, the system will use your text exactly as written in the Body up to a maximum of the first 600 characters. You can control what is used in teaser locations by clicking on the Edit summary link and providing your preferred text in the available field. The text limit is almost unlimited and this field is recommended if sharing your content on social media platforms in case of externally implemented text limits for best presentation.
- Primary media - optional - if used, the image will appear full width of the screen below the primary navigation with the page title embedded. An example of the use of a piece of media is the image at the top of the page situated behind the title ribbon.
Document attachment - any associated documents will appear as titled, downloadable links at the bottom of your published page.
