Create a Standard Header

Create Header

Header components are created for you when your website is set up, and are located in the following folder:
020 [Your Website] Content > Building Blocks > Website Content > Site Layout > Header

To complete the Header component, fill out the following fields:

1. Name: enter a name for your component here.
   
2. Schema: select Header  
   
3. Site name: enter the name of your website. This will display in the top left of the header if you opt not to include a logo image.
4. Site logo (screen version): this is the logo that will appear in the header of your website. Click the browse folder icon , navigate to the image you'd like to use, and select it. 
5. Site logo (print version): this is the logo that will appear on printed copies of your website. Click the browse folder icon , navigate to the image you'd like to use, and select it. 
6. Links that appear in header: these links appear just above the search box on the right side of the header. We recommend keeping it to 3 links or less. 
   1. Text to display in the link: this will be the name of the link that appears on the screen. Use one of these two fields to set where the link should direct:
      1. InternalLink: if you wish to link to a page within your website, click the browse folder icon , navigate to a component included in the published page, and select it. 
         
      2. ExternalLink: if you wish to link to another website, paste the link to the page in this field.
7. Toggle box display name: (optional) if desired, you can include a toggle box on the navigation bar, just under the search box. Enter the name of the toggle box in this field.
8. Toggle box content: enter the content for your toggle box here. This is a rich-text field that accepts text formatting, images, lists, and more.
9. Relative URL to your site's root directory: unless this header is for a sub-site, you can leave this field blank. For sub-sites, please enter the path as described ("/site/subsite/"). For example: /deed/ssb/
10. Header alert banner: if your site has a Header Alert Banner, link to it here. Click the browser folder icon , navigate to the Header Alert Banner component, and select it. 

When you've completed all the fields, Save and Close the component.

Publish the header

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

To publish your header, navigate to 050 [Your Website] Website > Building Blocks > Website Content > Site Layout > Header 

In that folder is a component named Header. Right-click on that component and select Publishing > Publish:

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

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