Template system

• Tree view
  Lower levels can only be opened by clicking on the triangle
• Column view
  Usually more advantageous as it is clearer and, above all, faster
• List view
  Selection of several elements simultaneously possible, advantageous when deleting, cutting, copying several files
• Thumbnail view
  Advantageous when working with images
• Detailed view
  Editing the various field groups is possible
• Preview
  "Normal" display of web pages with editing icons
• Separate preview
  Actual display of the web pages (various settings possible under "View" - "Set display...")

This field group exists in every template and contains fields that control the display of the page. As a rule, this field group contains the following fields:

• Show in navigation (cross-template - possible values: yes, no)
  Controls whether this page is displayed in the menu navigation

• Navigation name (cross-template - free text)
  Is displayed as the name in the menu and in the page guide. If this field is not filled, the title of the page is automatically used.
  Recommendation: If the title of the page is (very) long, choose a short, concise navigation name for this page.

• Show object (template-specific - possible values: yes, no)
  Controls whether this page appears in the list of the parent page. See also Containter.

• Show title (as heading)? (cross-template - selection. Possible values: yes, no)
  Controls whether the title is displayed as a heading on the page.

• Order (cross-template - free text)
  Controls the positioning of the page in the menu navigation. If the order is not specified, the page is automatically sorted alphabetically according to the title.
  Recommendation: Jumps of tens or hundreds allow another page to be inserted between two menu items (e.g. 010, 020, 030,... or 0100, 0200, 0300, ...).

• Header image (cross-template - link to a header image)
  If a header image is selected, it is used for this page and all pages below it. This field is therefore mandatory on the start page.

• Show in alphabetical index (template-specific - possible values: yes, no)
  Controls whether this page is listed in an alphabetical index (see also template index)

• Indexname1 (optional) (template-specific - free text)
  Is listed as a term in the alphabetical index. If the index name1 is empty, the title is used.

• Indexname2 (optional) (template-specific - free text)
  Is listed as an additional term in the alphabetical index. To ensure correct sorting within the alphabetical index, a term should be entered in index name2 that follows the term in index name1 in lexicographical order.

• Indexname3 (optional) (template-specific - free text)
  Is listed as an additional term in the alphabetical index. To ensure correct sorting within the alphabetical index, a term should be entered in index name3 that follows the term in index name2 in lexicographical order.

• File extension (cross-template - possible values: template-dependent)
  This field is usually assigned the value "html".

• Valid from (cross-template - date)
  Controls when the page is published on the live server.

• Valid until (cross-template - date)
  Controls until when the page remains published on the live server. If this field is empty, the page is valid indefinitely.

• Channels (template-specific - possible values: None, News, Job offer, Incident report, Appointments, Automated to Twitter)
  Folders and documents assigned to this/these channel/s are displayed as an RSS feed that can be subscribed to (see also RSS feed template).
  Attention: Only published folders/documents are displayed in the RSS feed in the preview.

This field group is template-specific and is explained separately for each template.

See also Templates.

The field is an exception:

• Person responsible for content (cross-template - free text)
  If this field is filled in, the person responsible for the content is shown at the bottom of the page.

Search engines evaluate fields in this field group to compile the search results. This field group is available for some templates (see documentation for the respective templates).

"Pagetitle", "Keywords" and "Description" are entered as so-called meta tags in the HTML code of the website. They are not directly visible on the website. Depending on the search engine, these entries are taken into account. You can use "Keywords" to improve the search results in search engines for finding your website. The "Description" is displayed in the first explanatory text lines of your website in the search results.

"Pagetitle", "Keywords" and "Description" can be entered not only for the homepage, but also for folders below it or even individual pages. If there is no entry for "Keywords"/"Description" for a page, the entry of the next folder above that has entries in these fields is used.

Fields:

• Pagetitle ( free text)
  The pagetitle is used as the page title of the website for search robots. If the page title is empty, the title of the page is entered as the page title.

• Keywords (text)
  Format: keyword1, keyword2, etc. This is possible on one or more lines.

• Description (text)
  Format: Normal text

Important note: To optimize the search results of your website in search engines, the keywords should also appear in the text and/or in the menu items of your website.

In some cases, there are a number of files of the same template that are grouped together in a collection. This collection folder is called a "container". Due to the recurring use of the container system in some templates, we dedicate a short explanation to this topic. The purpose of such a container is to automatically display all underlying files in a list overview and make them accessible via a link.

In the example of the person container, a list of persons created as individual files with the "Person" template is displayed as a list of links in the "Person container" above it.

. Please note that people should be represented using the "Person container" and "Person" templates.
