Administering users on your site
If you're a Site Administrator, follow the "Adding Users to Your KeySite Enterprise Site" to add, remove and manage users on your site (a list of documentation is available at http://keybridge.georgetown.edu/docs/kse/owners/).
How do I manage basic Web pages on my site?
Create a new page
- Click the "Site Map" button from the main menu and navigate to the folder in which you’d like the new Web page to appear.
- Click "New Content".
- Select the type of page to create (if applicable).
- Select either "draft" or "published". Draft pages are hidden from the public until they are finished and published.
- Click the "Create" button.
- Give the page a title (e.g.. “Spring Conference”).
- Enter text in the copy area of the page.
- In addition to editing content, some pages can have different templates applied to them. To change a template, click the "Template" tab and select the desired template.
- Click "Publish" for 'new published web page' and "Save Draft" for 'unpublished draft web page'.
Note: For Page Titles, it is important to write short, descriptive titles since Google uses them to index pages.
Edit an existing page
- Click the "Site Map" button from the main menu and navigate to the page that you want to edit.
- Click the page title. From the drop-down list, select "Modify this web page" (or for draft pages, "Modify this draft web page").
- The body of the page should now open in the HTML editor, allowing you to make changes to the page content.
- When your changes are complete, click "Save Changes".
Create a hyperlink
- Open a page for editing (see “Edit an existing page” above).
- Select the text you want to link.
- Click on the hyperlink icon in the editor.
- Select an internal page, or enter an external link (to add an anchor, refer to the documentation below).
- Click "OK".
Note: For information about creating anchor tags and links, see "How to Create an Anchor Tag in Keysite Enterprise" (a list of documentation is available at http://keybridge.georgetown.edu/docs/kse/owners/).
Create or remove a section
Sections are an important feature in organizing pages on a website. You can organize multiple Web pages under a section. Sections are by default visible in your site's main navigation. In most sites, the visitor clicks on a section to reveal any sub-sections belonging under that section. In some other sites, the visitor hovers over the section to reveal a pull-down list of any sub-sections.
Read our guide on "Creating and Removing Sections" in KeySite Enterprise (a list of documentation is available at http://keybridge.georgetown.edu/docs/kse/owners/).
