When creating new pages for a site it is often the case that an already existing arrangement of lists and content objects should be reused on different pages. For this purpose the option "Set this page as Page Model" is available for pages. By checking this option, the page is stored as a Page Model and can be chosen when creating a new page. The new page will contain all the content the Page Model contains and thus a page model can be used like a refined page-template without any need to access the studio.
To use the feature create any page with the content objects which should be part of the Page Model. In the example below, we created a page with 2 columns-template and added a content list with one event in the left column as placeholders and a calendar in the right column. We also added a banner to the landing area.
Open the edit engine of the new page.
Check the option "Set this page as Page Model". Save your changes.
Field description:
Go to the Site Settings.
All pages which are marked as Page Model are listed in the Site Settings menu under the entry "Page Models":
Note that a Page Model can also be edited from this screen by right-clicking on the page name.
When a new page is created, the Page Model is available at the end of the dropdown menu where you can choose the template which should be used for the new page.
Choose your Page Model here and a new copy of your page will be created.
To delete a Page Model, open the edit engine of the page (or the Page Model) and uncheck the option „Set this page as Page Model“.
