Editing the Page Names

Overview

First, lets clarify, only subpages have multiple names. The home page of your site has no extra settings (beyond #1) and lives only on your home address (project.matsugov.us). The subpages however have 4 different places where you can add a name or other identifier to or for the page. None of these names interact with another, so changing one will NOT change another. However, they should all be related and easily recognizable as the same page, so if you change one significantly, or change the purpose of the page, make sure to edit everywhere appropriate! Below is a list of the names and how they are used, where to edit them, and guidelines about what kinds of titles should be used within that version of the  

  1. The link name in the site navigation
  2. The slug/address of the page
  3. The file name of the page that ArcGis uses
  4. The header on the page 

 

The Navigation Link

 

 

The link name in the site navigation. This should be as short as you can make it, as the context for the page is already on the site. (FAQ not Project FAQ, About, Instructions)

1. Click "Pages"

2. Here, you can see every slug is listed for each page.  The slug is the individual word or words that are after the "/pages/" section here. The slug for documents is documents, but we can edit that later.

3. Click "Header"

4. Click "Menu"

5. Click the gear icon.

6. Click "Edit"

7. Click the "Link Name" field and edit the name

8. Click "Save"

9. Save and publish!

File Name

The file name of the page that ArcGis (the company that owns the hubsite system) uses. This allows the file to stand out from others when searching within any part of the system. This is where to be the most detailed (Project Name FAQ not FAQ, About x Project, Instructions for Creators to do x thing).

1. Click "Page Info"

2. Click the "Page Info" field. Here is where you change the name to something more descriptive like "Project x Documents" so you can easily find it in the Esri/ArcGis system. Otherwise, there will just be a litany of pages named FAQ or Documents and you will need to open them individually to know which is which. 

3. Click "Save settings"

4. Save and publish!

The Slug/URL

Tip: The slug or url of the page can be edited within the page settings. This shows up in the address bar and is visible to the user. This should be a short, but informative title (FAQ, about, instructions)

1. Click "Page Info"

2. Click "Edit URL Settings"

3. Click the "Page Slug" field.

4. Click "Save"

5. Click "Save settings"

6. Save and publish!

The Header

The header on the page. This is what is immediately displayed on the page to the user. Here is where you can spell out acronyms, but you still don't need the project name since that is within the context of being on the site (Frequently Asked Questions, About our Project, Instructions to do x Thing). This is the only thing on the page that should be using the Heading 1 style or tag. Any other headings should be heading 2 or lower. 

1. Click on the text item that has the heading. You may need to add a new text area and heading!

2. Click on the heading, in this case "Documents" and edit the title of the page as needed. 

3. Save and publish!
