Add Metadata to a Basic Page

2. Scroll down to the Page Metadata.
3. Under Page Image, click the Add Media button.
4. In the Page Description field, enter a brief description of the page (up to 255 characters). Note: This description will appear in list paragraphs in both the Default List view and the Card Grid view.
5. Click Save.
   

Set a Page Type

Setting a Basic Page Type allows you to organize content based on predefined taxonomy term. 

Basic Page Type taxonomies allow you to categorize and group your content. For example, you can create a Basic Page Type called “Research Project,” then build a list of page using that identifier.  

When building Basic Page Type vocabulary, you should choose terms that represent broad categories, rather than narrow descriptions. For example, “Research Projects” would be a good broad category,  but “Alzheimer Research” may be too narrow. 

1. Add a new term to your site’s Basic Page Types vocabulary. See Adding new taxonomy terms.
2. Create a new Basic Page (or edit an existing page). 
3. Scroll down to the Page Metadata.
4. Click on the Basic Page Type drop-down menu and select a term.
5. Click Save.
