Creating an Index Page Using the Menu List Page Type
|
There is a finite amount of room for links on the left-side navigation menu of your website. What do you do when you have more pages in your website than you have room in the navigation menu for links to each of those pages? You create what might be considered a sub-menu or an extension to the left-side menu.
For example, you may want to post your weekly league results to your website. It becomes unwieldy to have 20 weeks (or whatever number) of events listed on your left-side navigation menu. Instead, you can use a Menu List page which acts as an index page - think table of contents - for a topical section of your website content to reduce the items on the navigation menu, yet help people find information quickly. The Menu List page allows you to create a list of links to the various web pages of information such as results for each week of your season as in the example below. If you prefer your list of links to be arranged in more than one column, please refer to "Creating an Index Page with Document or Spreadsheet Page Types."
In the example website screen shot below, there is one menu item called "Black Bear Pairings & Results" which when clicked brings up the "Tournament at Black Bear" page that you see below. The page is an index to individual web pages which have particular types of content. Clicking on "Team Pairings" on this page, for example, will take you to a web page that displays the team pairings for the event played on March 23.
For information on creating a page such as this example, please refer to Menu List Page Type.

Note: The Document, Spreadsheet and Table page types can also be used to create an index page for a section of your website. The Document and Spreadsheet page types, in particular, provide additional flexibility and capabilities as compared to the Menu List page type. However, the Menu List is the simplest page type to use for creating an index page. On these other page types, you would insert one hyperlink after another (as many as you need) to create links to the pages you index. |
