Introduction / Page Store / Creating pages and sections / Create new section

Create new section

This function is used to insert a new section in the content area of a page. After clicking a window opens in which all section templates allowed for the current page are displayed.

Creating a section - Selecting a section template

The required section template simply has to be selected from the tree structure.

Below Recently used objects there is a list of the most recently used section templates for the respective user to make it easier to find frequently used templates.

The predefined display names and the reference name can be changed in the Display name area.

The following functionalities simplify the identification of the desired section template:

  • Search for display names of the required template
  •  Preview of available input components
  •  Use of master copies

Click the Select button or Enter to confirm your selection and the section appears at the selected position in the tree structure.

If this function is executed in a content area and if this content area already contains other sections, the new section is always automatically inserted at the first position, i.e., in front of all other sections.

If this function is executed on a section, the new section is always inserted after the selected section.

If a new section has been inserted, edit mode is automatically activated for the page in which the section is located. In this way content can be directly inserted.

The display name (of the default editing language) of the selected section template is automatically adopted for new sections that are added. The reference name is formed from the display name and is also set automatically. At the same time, any invalid characters (e.g., special characters, symbols, spaces, capital letters) are removed from the reference name. As the reference name must be unique within a page, this value is uniquely assigned automatically by appending a number.
