Pages provide you with more space to expand on the purpose of your site. Organizations, for example, can add pages for each of their departments. Teams can also use pages to highlight specific parts of a project, including goals, resources, or status updates.
Like sites, there is no limit to the number of pages you can make. You can also add the same page to more than one site so that relevant content is available in multiple places.
Note:
Pages are discoverable in a site's search results in the Documents collection. Only users who have access to pages (member of the core team, your organization, or the public), can view pages in search results.
Who can add pages?
Administrators and core team members can add pages to a site.
Add a page
To get started, you must have already created a site or be a part of a core team to add or edit a page. Pages are automatically shared with the core team so that team members can access and edit pages.
- Sign in and click Sites on the Overview page.
- Click to open the site to which you want to add a page.
- On the Customize panel, click the Pages icon in the top-right corner.
- To add a page, choose one of the following: New Page or click Link Page to add an existing page.
- New Page—Type a name for the page and click Next.
Note:
The name you provide is also used to automatically generate the page URL. Spaces are replaced with hyphens and all special characters are removed. Each page URL is preceded with /pages/. You can read more about editing the URL for a page in the Edit page URL section of this documentation.
- Link Page—Choose from a list of available pages. Optionally, update the page URL. Click Link Page to confirm your choice or click Choose a different page to go back.
- New Page—Type a name for the page and click Next.
- Click Save.
Next, make sure that the page you just added has a page summary. The summary you provide for a page appears in search results.
Provide a page summary
To add a summary for a page, follow these steps.
- On the Customize panel on a site, click the Pages icon in the upper-right corner.
- In the list of pages, click the page you want to edit.
- Click Page Info.
- Type a summary in the Page Summary field.
- Click Save.
Edit page URL
The full page URL will be https://webadaptorhost/webadaptorname/apps/sites/#/your-site-name/pages/your-new-page.
The text at the end of your page's URL is called a slug. It can be modified to help you achieve a consistent web experience that aligns with your organization's existing standards.
- On the Customize panel on a site, click the Pages icon in the upper-right corner.
- In the list of pages, click the page you want to edit.
- Click Page Info.
- Type a new slug in the Page Slug field.
- Click Save.
Design page layout
You can design pages in the same way as sites. However, you cannot edit the header or footer of the page because these are inherited from the page's site.
- On the Customize panel on a site, click the Pages icon in the upper-right corner.
- In the list of pages, click the page you want to edit.
- Click Layout on the Customize panel.
- Drag a row card onto the page's layout to start designing your page. You can design a page in the same way you can design a site.
- Click View to preview the page.
- Click Save.
Change page sharing settings
Share your page with your team, your organization, or the public. Pages can be shared with different audiences than their sites. For example, a privately shared page that belongs to a public site is only accessible to those who have access to view it upon signing in.
- Sharing options are provided on the page's edit navigation bar.
- Share with the organization—Select the second icon to share the page with everyone who is a member of your ArcGIS Online organization.Share with your Enterprise portal—Select the second icon to share the page with all members of your Enterprise portal.
- Share with the public—Select the third icon to share the page publicly.
Note:
- Sign in to Portal for ArcGIS and click Sites on the Overview page to view a list of your sites.
- In the edit navigation bar at the top of your site, choose one of the following sharing options:
- Share with the team—Select the first icon to share the page with other members of your site's core team. Team members must sign in to access the page.
- Share with the organization—Select the second icon to share the page with everyone who is a member of your ArcGIS Online organization.Share with your Enterprise portal—Select the second icon to share the page with all members of your Enterprise portal.
- Share with the public—Select the third icon to share the page publicly.
Note:
It's recommended that while you're creating your page you share it with your core team or your organization until you're ready to open your site to the public.
Provide links to pages on a site
Add links to a page from a site or other pages.
Use menu links
You can add a link for a page to a site using menu links in the site's header. For more information, see Configure global navigation and menu links.
Use HTML
If you want to create a hyperlink to a page, use the HTML <a> syntax to insert the link. If you use a relative path in the <a> tag instead of the absolute path, you will prevent a full page refresh when you click on the link.
- Add a text card or open an existing card on the page layout and click Code View in the toolbar.
- Insert an <a> tag where you want the link to be.
- Paste the slug for the page you want to add between the href="" attribute of your <a> tag—for example, <a href="#/mysite/pages/target-page">Visit the linked page</a>
- Click Save in the edit navigation bar to confirm your changes, and click View to test the new link.
Tip:
To have the link open in a new tab, append target="_blank" directly after your href attribute on the <a> tag.
Use a single page on multiple sites
You can reuse a single page on multiple sites. If you have a page currently being used by a particular site and you want to use it on another site, follow these steps:
- On the site on which you want to add an existing page, click the Pages icon.
- Click Link Page to see a list of all pages in your organization.
- Select the page you want to import onto your site.
- Confirm the details of your selected page and change the page URL.
- Click Link Page to finalize the linking. This edits the page and the attached site.
Note:
You cannot have two pages on the same site using the same URL.
Caution:
If you edit the layout of a linked page, it alters the layout in all the places the page is being used.
Manage a site's pages
- Find the site to which the page belongs and open it.
- Click the pages icon to view pages that belong to that site.
- Click the delete button.
