Ordering Subpages_old

Introduction

A subpage is any page that was assigned a "parent page" during its creation. When creating a page, the selected "Section" option will determine the "parent page." 

For instance, if you are creating a page for agricultural issues, your Issues page would be selected as the "parent page," making the Agriculture page a "subpage" of the Issues page. If you are creating a page that will be a main menu item, such as a "Constituent Services" or "Press" page, the "Home" page would be selected as the "parent page." 

The "Subpage Order" determines how your subpages are displayed in menus, such as the main menu, or the "Related Links" sidebar menu. Customized pages may also display subpage titles as links, within the main body of a page - such as for Photo Galleries. The following tutorial will explain how to rearrange the order in which your subpages are displayed.

Step 1 - Click the "Pages" Link

To edit the properties of an existing page, click the "Pages" link, located in the menu at the top of your Dashboard.

Step 3 - Rearrange Subpage Order

Scroll down the page and locate the "Subpage Order" section. This section lists the titles of your subpages within separate gray boxes. The page titles are listed in the order they will appear in your menus, or pages.

If you mouse over the page titles, you will notice your mouse cursor changes to a four-sided arrow. Using the four-sided arrow cursor, you can click and drag the page titles to reflect your preferred order.
