Create pages

Create and preview pages on the Skedulo Pulse Platform.

Overview

Creating pages gives you freedom to present your data in the way that works best for your organization. You can create pages for both your custom objects and Skedulo’s standard objects.

Create a page

Use the Page builder - create page to create your own pages on the Skedulo Pulse Platform. To open this page:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Developer tools > Platform settings (beta) to open the Platform page list view page.
  2. Click Create New in the top right-hand area of the page.
  3. On the Create page, fill in the fields as required.
    1. Name. Enter a name for your page.
    2. Slug. This is the URL path that will be used to visit the page. This field is autocompleted with a URL-safe version of the name you supplied in the Name field, but you can enter a different slug if required. If entering a custom slug, you may only include lowercase alphanumeric characters and hypens.
    3. Page Type. Select a page type from the drop-down menu. This enables the page to be categorized correctly. For example, pages with an Edit or View type need an ID to work and cannot be added to the Navigation menu. For more information about the different types, see the table below.
    4. Page Description. (Optional) Enter a description of your page.
    5. Template Content. Add HTML, Horizon, and Breeze components to build your page. For a full list of the available components, see the Horizon component Storybook and the Design System Storybook. Content is rendered using Nunjucks so you can make dynamic/more complex pages
  4. When you’ve made your changes, click Save. The page is added to the list on the Platform page list view.
  5. To preview your new page, click on the page’s Slug in the Plaform page list view.

Duplicate a page

Duplicate page enables you to create a new page which is an exact copy of an existing page. A benefit of this is enabling you to experiment safely with different components while keeping a known good backup.

To duplicate a page:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Developer tools > Platform settings (beta) to open the Platform page list view page.
  2. Click the check box of the page you want to duplicate from the list.
