The following options are available in Page Properties:
Page Title
Descriptive HTML page titles help users quickly understand a web page’s content.
Providing unique, concise HTML page titles helps users with disabilities quickly understand a web page’s content and purpose. Well-written page titles are critical to users with visual disabilities because they are always the first page element announced by screen-reading software.
A unique and concise HTML title is also helpful for search-engine optimization.
Breadcrumb:
Breadcrumbs are a navigational aid located between the site's header and the main content of the web page. They allow users to understand their current location within a website.
In the example above, the section is Test and the page that user is currently on is New Page.
In order to edit a page's Breadcrumb navigate to the "Custom Settings" section in Page Properties:
Breadcrumbs should be concise and specific to the page.
Hero Setup:
Best Practice Note: Although Hero Type is configurable in Page Properties, best practice is to use the "Banner" Hero Type on all pages except for the section homepage which could feature a different Hero Type in order to provide a consistent experience. Contact webmaster@lsuhsc.edu if you have any questions.
The Hero region is the large text, image or video at the top of a web page. Example of a banner Hero type:
Under Hero Setup, users can choose what Hero type to display for the page or turn it off completely by selecting "No Hero".
Navigation Setup:
Best Practice Note: Although the "Navigation Setup" is configurable in Page Properties, best practice is to keep "Default Navigation (Per Directory Variable)" selected on all pages in order to provide a consistent user experience in each section. Notify webmaster@lsuhsc.edu if you'd like to request a change to the sections Navigation Type.
Navigation menus are the links on a page that point to other internal or external resources.
From the navigation dropdown menu, users can choose what type of navigation to display in a page.
The two types of navigation options that are available are:
1. Sidebar navigation: The navigation menu appears on the left side of a page. Example of a sidebar navigation:
2. Banner navigation: The navigation menu appears on the top of the main content of the page, below the standard LSU Health New Orleans Header. Example of a banner navigation:
There is also an option to choose "No navigation" options to hide the navigation menu. This option would also be used if a section opted to use the "Mega-Nav" option (example). If you have questions, or would like to try the "Mega-Nav" option contact webmaster@lsuhsc.edu.
Save & Publish After Making Changes:
Click on Save from the top right of the page.
Click on Publish to make the change to the production webpage.
