  1. Hover over the blue triangle in the upper left corner of the website and select Show CMS.

  2. Click Content Tree in the upper left corner.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Click the chevron to the right of the Home menu item, then select Add Page.

    📘

    Note

    If a tertiary subpage menu is desired, create the new page from the appropriate secondary page.

  5. Under Item Type, select News Page.

  6. Select a Template, then click Next.

  7. Populate the Name, Title, and URL fields.

    The Name field is limited to 50 characters.

  8. Enter additional SEO information as appropriate, including Meta Description and Meta Keywords, and Open Graph tags.

  9. Add the content Author and Publish Date, then add the news information in the News Contents field.

  10. Select from the Hide Header, Hide Footer, Hide from Search Engines, Hide From Site Search, Exclude from Navigation, or Exclude from Sign In Required options at the bottom of the screen.

  11. Click Save.

Next, add the News Page View widget to view News Contents.

  1. Select Add Content at the top of the page.
  2. Select the News Page View item type.
  3. Click Next.
