With your Sections in place, it's time to add pages that you wish to appear in each Section. From the Sections tab in Page Builder, click on the Pages button as highlighted in the image above. This will present you with the Sections Pages screen as follows:

All pages currently on your website will appear to the left under the column titled Add pages to section, whereas all pages specific to this Section will appear to the right under the column titled Order pages in section.

Sorting Your Sections

There are two ways that you can organise your pages within the Section, which can be changed any time by choosing an option from the drop-down box labelled "Sort Type":

a) Custom Sort Type (default) - this allows you to easily drag and drop your pages into or out of the Section. Using the image above as an example, if we wanted to add the Services page to this section, you would just need to drag the box using your mouse to the right column (highlighted in yellow). You can reverse the process to remove any pages assigned to this section. Finally, click the Update button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

b) Alphabetical Sort Type - this allows you to organise the pages in your Section alphabetically. Additionally, you can add pages to the section by clicking the (+) next to any of the pages on the left. You can also remove pages from the section by clicking the (-) next to a page in the right column highlighted yellow. This sort type will appear as follows:

*Tip - You can quickly jump to the Page Settings, Stock Categories, and Page Contents by clicking the respective icons to the right of your pages on this screen. You can also jump between your other Sections by clicking the Change Section drop-down box at the top of the screen and then choosing a Section from the list. This will save you the time of having to go back and forth and will drastically help speed up your workflow.

The Landing Page

The Landing Page drop-down box allows you to set one of your regular pages as a landing page for the Section on your website. If you click on a button for one of your Sections through the website, nothing will happen if a Landing Page is not set and your visitors will need to hover over and click on the button/s in the sub-menu to reach the required page of your site.

If you specify a Landing Page for your section, your visitors will be taken to that page of your website when they click on the button (even if they do not click on one of the buttons in the sub-menu that appears when hovering over the Section button on your website).

The example image above shows that the page titled "Information" is set as the Landing Page, which will load if your visitors click on the Section button on your website. You can remove the Landing Page at any time by selecting the blank option from the drop-down list.

*Note - the page must be added to the Section first to allow it to be added as a Landing Page.

Some Final Notes On Sections

You can now repeat the process for adding Pages to each of your Sections in the same way to completely organise your site. You may have also noticed that the Sections you have created will appear on your website and the individual Pages of your site are no longer visible.

Rest assured, you can add Sections that do not break down into sub-categories and act just like a standard clickable button on your website. If your Section consists of one Page, you just need to set this Page as your Landing Page as outlined in the process above to ensure sub-categories do not expand. Alternatively, this is automatically set up by choosing to create a Section from a Page (this was covered in part II of the guide).

The overall process of utilising Sections on your website is quite expansive and can be quite a lot to take in in one go. Dont worry if you have problems initially getting your head around the lengthy process, however the Support Department is one call/email away if you need guidance.
