Part 2: Creating a page using the Administration Menu

1. Click on the "Admin" menu that appears at the bottom of your left hand roll-over menus.
   (Note: this will only appear when already logged in with Administrator access.)
2. Click the “Edit Sections/Pages” hyperlink.
3. Click the “Add New Section” hyperlink. You will be taken to the Add New Section area.
4. Type in a Name (this becomes part of the URL (web page address) and will be displayed in some parts of the Navigation).
   • Be prepared to never change this as doing so will break existing references to your page.
   • COCC's Community Web is not case sensative.
   • For this Name field we recommend that you do NOT include spaces (as they will later be converted to a "+" or "%20") and that you keep the name short.
   • Considering using case to improve readability when you have more than one word. (Example: MyPage)
   • To understand more about how the Name you enter is used, see web page components overview.
5. Type in a Page Title . This is the title that will appear at the top of your page. (e.g., Degrees & Classes).
6. Type in a Menu Title . This is a human-read title to be used when your page is included on any menus or the breadcrumb. (e.g., Degrees & Classes).
7. Type in a Description.
8. Make sure the Enabled box is checked, if you want people to be able to view the page.
9. Check the Navigation box as appropriate. This indicates whether or not you would like your page to be included on the generated web menus.
10. If you would like your page to be searchable by Google check the Index box.
11. Page (Section) Owner : If you would like to specify a specific owner for the page you are creating uncheck the "Inherit owner from parent" box and select the appropriate owner. Otherwise the owner of your page will be inherited from the parent page.
12. Section Parent: Select the parent page that you would like this page to be organized under. This will complete the web address (URL) for your page.
13. Contents: Choose the radio button for the page type you’d like. (more about the available page types)
14. Header Image : If you would like to change the header image that appears at the top of your page select a different image. Otherwise leave the default value of "Inherit" so that your page will use the same header image as its parent.
15. Additional options are available if the Show Advanced Options box is checked, however in most cases the default values for the advanced options will meet your needs.
16. Click on the “Add Section” button. Your section will be added.
