Enter a title for the page, category, or specialized record. This title will be displayed at the top of the content pane unless suppressed through a style/options setting. This title will also be incorporated into the the page title sent to the browser.
Hide DataType checkbox, InputType checkbox
If this box is checked, the web page based on this record will not exist to the public view. It will still be viewable while in edit mode. While in edit mode, hidden pages are indicated by a red slashed zero in the list view.
Short Title DataType text, length 40, InputType text
This optional field allows you to specify a shorter alternate title for use when this page or category appears on a navigation menu. If not specified, the full title will be used.
Link DataType text, length 255, InputType text
This field allows you to specify a link URL and is only relevant to types link (offsite) and link (onsite). The link will be used exactly as entered so for an offsite link the entry should start with "http://". For an onsite link, the URL may be either absolute (http://....) or relative (eg: /store/).
Text/Html DataType memo, InputType html
This field contains the primary content for a page or specialized record. It is not available for categories.
This field should contain a summary description of the page or category. The size of the field is limited to 255 characters (about three lines), any excess will be truncated. This description will be displayed on the parent's list page as well as on this page's focus page if enabled by style/options (show description on page).
Keywords is an optional field intended for search engine optimization by providing a page specific keywords metatag. If entered, keywords should be comma separated. The list may be up to 250 characters long. Longer entries will be truncated so please check after updating if you enter a long list (long lists are a bad idea anyway).
If you specify keywords, a metatag is constructing combining any keyword list in the site template with keywords from the current page. Current page keywords are listed first followed by the template keywords.
If your site template currently has a keywords metatag, DO NOT enter any keywords until you remove the metatag as this will result in two keyword metatags which can adversely affect your search engine rank.
Eventually our own search engine will also make use of these keyword lists.
If an image (or images) is specified, this setting controls the alignment of the image on a focus page display. The options are:
right - the image will be right justified with text wrapping on the left
center - the image will be centered with text below
left - the image will be left justified with text wrapping on the right
center down - the image will be centered below the text

In either case if the client attempts to navigate to this item, a login screen will be presented.
Any value in this field is automatically inherited by any children items created so if you wish to create an entire area of the website that is protected, you should first create the top level item and enter a viewauthID before creating children items.
When an item is moved, the new parent's viewauthID is replicated to the item.
SubSiteID DataType number, length 4, InputType text
SubSiteID may optionally be set to a non-zero value to create a separate area of your website. The value entered will be inherited by any items created under this item.

Order by DataType text, length 6, InputType selecttext
Every item type has a default sort order for display of children, typically alphabetic by title. This field lets you alter the sort order for the list display. The choices are:
default - the default sort order for this item type will be used
Title - alphabetic by title. For most item types this is equivalent to the default setting.
Sort - the list display will be sorting using the values entered in the sort field of the children items. This allows you to manually alter the ordering of items.
Date (newest first) - newly entered items will be displayed first. This is the default sort order for news items.
Date (oldest first) - newly entered items will be displayed last.
Description - items will be ordered alphabetically based on the description field.

When entering new items a sort code value is automatically generated that places the new item at the end of the list when ordered by sort code.

This numeric field specifies the content, if any, to be displayed in the right auxiliary content pane. Possible values are:
-1 to suppress the right content pane for this page
0 or blank to use default from parent or template
n where n is the ID of the item which is to be displayed
If not specified or suppressed, the system will next check for a parent specifier and use that if found. It will finally check for a global setting on the template item.
Conversely, any value set here will be inherited by immediate children items when displayed as the focus page.
