All Properties editing view

The All Properties editing view provides editing access to all properties available for content, including those not available in the Visual Builder or On-Page Editing views. Select All Properties in the toolbar to access these additional properties.

Visual Builder view

On-Page editing view

Global properties

If your application has content in multiple languages, some properties may be locked for editing in a specific language. These properties are globally shared; you can edit them only in the master language. See Translate content. 

Basic info properties

The top gray area displays the basic informational properties, which are also accessible in the on-page editing view. This area is displayed in the All Properties view.

• Name – The name of the page. Depending on the implementation, this may be the page heading, also shown in the page tree structure and menus.
• Name in URL – The URL is automatically created based on the page's name and its place in the navigation. It depends on the implementation whether this is visible in links on the application. If you copy a page, the URL of the original page is copied with a number added to it. Change this if you create content based on existing page copies. Changing the URL for an existing page may cause broken links.
• Simple address – This unique URL can be added to frequently requested pages on your application, letting visitors locate the page by typing the simple address name directly after the main URL of the application. Providing, for example, products as a simple address lets you find the page just by entering the URL (for example, https://www.company.com/products) in the address bar of the browser, even if the Products page is located further down in the navigation tree. You can use the Reports to manage simple addresses for your application.
• Display in navigation – Deselect this option for pages you do not want to be visible in navigation structures or menus on the application.
• Visible to – Indicates if public access to the content is restricted. Click Manage to change the settings described in Set access rights from edit view.
• Languages – Shows available languages for the content. If you have multiple languages on your application, see Languages.
• ID, Type – Shows the unique ID set by the system and the type of content on which the content is based.
• Tools – Under tools, you find the following options:
  
  • Manage Expiration and Archiving – Used to set published content as expired and for archiving content.
  • Permanently Mark as Being Edited – Used to notify editors that someone is working on the content item.

Tabs

Other properties are organized using tabs. You can add and modify from the administrative interface.

Content tab

The Content tab contains properties for entering the main content when editing a page, a block in CMS.

Settings tab

The Settings tab is default and contains built-in properties for managing publication dates, sort order, and shortcuts.

• Published, Created, and Modified – System-generated timestamps for the content that rarely need to be changed.
• Update modified date – Select this checkbox if you make significant changes to the content and want the system to update the modification date. For example, you can publish a fix to a typographical error without updating the modified date because it was a simple correction (and too trivial for notification). However, if you change the content (that could be months old) in an important way, select Update modified date to show the date the content was updated at the bottom of the page to let readers know how recently the information was updated. Perhaps you can also write a job to get pages that were modified since a specified time period to see any changed pages.

Preview tab

Add a teaser that displays in search results. CMS defaults to using the first few lines in the main body content.

SEO Settings tab

Add keywords for search engine optimization (SEO).

From the administrative interface, you can customize and configure default values for selected properties or make certain properties mandatory for editors to fill in. See Properties.
