Step-by-step

Site structure

The site structure of a website tells you what pages a website includes and how these pages are organized. To access the Site Structure, click on the Site Structure icon in the top navigation bar.

 

Webpages and sections

In T4, a webpage is referred to as a Section. Sections may contain content, be linked directly to other sections, and be visible (by default) or hidden in the right-hand side navigation menu.

The UFV website is built on a hierarchical structure, with top-level pages referred to as parent sections and pages below considered child sections. A branch is the name given to a section and its children.

A plus (+) or a minus (-) to the left of the yellow folder icon indicates that the section has subsections (or child pages). You can click the plus (+) to expand a section and see its children, and click the minus (-) to collapse all of the subsections.

 

Working with sections

When you are in the site structure, click on the blue Actions button on the right-hand side of each section to add a new subsection or edit, preview, move, mirror, duplicate, delete, or publish the section.

 

Understanding the icons in the site structure

 

 Normal section

A dark grey folder indicates a normal section. Normal sections contain content and are displayed in the site navigation menu.

 

 Hidden section

A white folder indicates a hidden section. The page will publish, but you won’t see it in the site navigation menu.

 

 Pending section

A yellow folder indicates a pending section. Pending sections are in draft mode and will not be published until their status is changed to "Approved".

 

 Inactive or deleted section

A red folder indicates the section is inactive or deleted. This section is not published and will be fully deleted the next time we empty the T4 recycle bin.

 

 Internal link section

Two small chain links indicate an internal link section. Internal link sections contain no content, but link to another section within the UFV website.

 

 External link section

The square with an arrow pointing outward indicates an external link section. External link sections contain no content, but link to an external website.

 

Two interlocked squares with an arrow pointing outward.Origin mirrored section

The two interlocked squares with an arrow pointing outward indicates that the current section is mirrored in another section. This is the original location of where the content was created and can be modified.

 

Two interlocked squares with an arrow pointing outward.  — Destination mirrored section

The two interlocked squares with an arrow pointing inward indicates that the current section has been mirrored from another section. The content in a mirrored-in section is read-only.
