Simple Lists

Basic Procedure

  • Create a list object in one of your Extras folders
  • Add items to the list
  • Add the list to a page by editing the Presentation Details

Note on List Types

  • There are four basic list types. They differ *ONLY* in the heading:
    • A "Quick Links" list will have a heading that says "Quick Links"
    • A "Learn More" list will have a heading that says "Learn More"
    • A "Custom Links" list will have a heading that you can edit
    • A "Marketing Links" list has no heading
  • Regardless of what type of simple list you create the procedure is the same

Procedure in Detail

  1. Go to your site's Extras folder and create a new list within one of these folders: CustomLinks, LearnMore, MarketingLinks, QuickLinks
  2. Give the list a meaningful name when you create it. Nobody will see the name, but it always helps to give good names to items so you'll know what they're for later.
  3. If the list heading is editable, edit it.
  4. To add an item to the list, click the space where it says "Choose Item:" Then navigate through the content tree and click on the page you want to add.
    Choose a List Item
  5. If you intend to show button images in the list, choose the button image field, or leave as "No Image
    Choose an Image Type 
  6. Choose the location of the text: before or after the image. If there is no image, you still MUST choose something other that "No Text" or text will not show.
    Choose Text Behavior
  7. Click the "Add" button to add the item to the list. The new list item will appear in the box below.
  8. Repeat the steps above to add all items to the list.
  9. You may use the blue arrow to rearrange list items, or use the red X to remove an item from the list.
    Manage List Items
  10. To edit an item on the list, double click it, make your edits, then click "Save"
