Create an Internal Landing Page with Feature Spotlights

Create a Headline and Introduction for the Page

The first thing to build is a General Content component with the headline and introductory text, highlighted in red below, that you need to appear on the page. Below are the steps for creating this component:

1. In the 020 section, navigate to the folder where the components for the Feature Spotlights page will reside.
2. Create a new component and complete the following fields:
   1. Name: enter a name for the component
   2. Schema: select General Content
   3. Title: enter the headline for your Feature Spotlights page. 
   4. Content: enter the introductory text that will go at the top of your page. This is a rich-text field, so you can add other elements like images, links, etc.

Create the Feature Spotlight components

Feature Spotlights are made with General Content components by completing the following fields:  

1. Name: enter a name for your component
2. Schema: select General Content
3. Title: this is NOT the title that will display on the Feature Spotlight, but instead is the title that will display on the page that the Feature Spotlight links to. This field must be completed in order to save and close the component.
4. Content: content entered in this field does not display on the Feature Spotlight, but you will need to complete this field for the page that the Feature Spotlight links to. This is where the body content of the page will go. This is a rich-text field that accepts images, tables, links, etc.
5. Feature Title: enter the title of the Feature Spotlight
6. Feature Description: enter the brief description that will appear under the title of the Feature Spotlight. 
7. Feature Image Description: this field only needs to be completed if you've entered a picture in the Feature Thumbnail field (below). If that field has a picture, then you should enter a very brief description of the picture here.
8. Feature Thumbnail (optional): select a thumbnail to display with the Feature Spotlight. We recommend that you use the same height and width for all Feature Spotlight thumbnails on the same page.

Save and Close your General Content component when complete. 

Repeat this step as needed for each Feature Spotlight that will appear on your page.

Create the pages that the Feature Spotlights link to

In step 2 above, the components you created will be used to generate both the feature spotlights AND the pages they link to. Below are the instructions for creating the latter - the pages that the Feature Spotlights will link to.

1. In the 050 section, navigate to (or create) the structure group where the Feature Spotlight 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, select the page type you wish to create (if in doubt, just leave it as Internal General Content).
5. Click the Component Presentations tab.
6. Click the Insert button:
   1. Navigate to one of the General Content components you created in step 2, select it, apply the Page Introduction component template, and insert it into the page.
7. Close the Insert Component Presentation pop-up window.
8. Save and Close your page.

Repeat the above steps as many times as you need, to create all the pages that the Feature Spotlights will link to.

Create the Feature Spotlight Page

1. In the 050 section, navigate to (or create) the structure group where the Feature Spotlight 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, uncheck "Inherit from Parent." Then, in the drop-down menu for the field, select Internal Landing Page with Feature Spotlights.
5. Click the Design tab.
6. Click the Add button:
   1. Navigate to the General Content component you created in step 1, select it, apply the Page Introduction component template, and insert it into the page.
   2. Navigate to the General Content components you created in step 2, select all of them, apply either the Feature Spotlight (with H2 heading) or the Feature Spotlight (with H3 heading) component template to all, and insert them into the page. Use the same component template for all components.
7. Close the Insert Component Presentation pop-up window.
8. Save and Close your page.

Publish the Feature Spotlights Page

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

Navigate to the Feature Spotlights page you built in step 3, right-click on it and select Publishing > Publish.

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

We also recommend republishing the navigation at this point, so it picks up the new page.
