Create Buttons

Create a General Content component

One way you can create a button is with General Content components, like so:

1. In the 020 section, navigate to the folder where the components for the page with the buttons will reside.
2. Create a new component and complete the following fields:
   1. Name: enter a name for the component here
   2. Schema: select General Content
   3. Title: Enter a title for your page. 
   4. Body Content:  
      1. Add some content for your page in this field.
      2. Within the content, on it's own line, enter the name of your button, such as "Sample page".
      3. Once you've entered that text, highlight it and move your cursor to the Style menu in the top ribbon.
      4. From the Style menu, select either "button-brand-primary" or "button-brand-secondary." The default color for "button-brand-primary" is the state's dark blue color, and the default color for "button-brand-secondary" is the bright accent green used in state logos and such. (Note: Your website's CSS developers have access to alter these colors, so if you are seeing other button colors, you may want to check with the developer about any site customizations that have been done.)
         
         
         
      5. If you wish for your buttons to appear on the left or right side of text, use the Style menu to select either "float-left" or "float-right," respectively.

Save and Close your component.

Create the Page

1. In the 050 section, navigate to (or create) the structure group where the page will reside.
2. Create a new page.
3. Fill in the Name, File Name, Page Display Name, Dublin Core Title, and Dublin Core Description fields.
4. For the Page Template field, leave this as the default Internal General Content.
5. Click the Component Presentations tab.
6. Click the Insert button:
   1. Navigate to the General Content component you created in step 1, select it, apply the Page Introduction or General Content component templates, and insert it into the page.
7. Close the Insert Component Presentation pop-up window.
8. Save and Close your page.

Publish the Page

When you've completed all the steps above, then all you need to do next is publish your page. 

In the 050 section, navigate to the page you built in step 3, right-click and select Publishing > Publish.

Select the site you wish to publish to and click Publish. This will send the page to the publishing queue.

Verify the page looks like you want it to, and edit/republish as needed.
