Static Module
Overview
The Static Module enables users to create and manage content-focused pages like documentation articles, blog posts, or knowledge based entries.
Each static module can house multiple items, where each item represents an independent content entry such as an article or blog post.
This guide will walk you through how to create, configure, and manage a static module and its content items effectively.
1. Module Creation
Creating New Static Modules
Within the Modules Page click Create a new Module to begin. You will be prompted to enter:
- Label – User-friendly name for your module.
- Type – Module type
"Static"
. - ID – Auto-filled from the Label (used in the URL and must not contain spaces).
Click Create module to generate your static module and proceed to its configuration screen.
Module configuration
After module creation, you’ll be directed to the module page, where you can customize:
- Label: Module name
- Title: Page header title
Changes here affect how the module appears within the portal and should reflect the purpose of your content.
2. Item Management
Adding a New Item
Inside the static module configuration screen:
- Click Add Item to begin creating a content entry.
- Fill in:
- Title – The headline of your content.
- ID – Automatically filled from the title (e.g.,
getting-started
from "Getting Started").
Click Create Item to proceed.
Configuring a Static Item
After item creation, you'll be redirected to the item configuration screen. Here you can set:
- Short Description – A brief summary of the content.
- Content – The main body or article text.
- Icon – Upload an icon in svg format representing the item.
Edit or Delete
Each item can be edited or deleted. To apply your changes, always click:
Save Changes
After saving, you will be redirected back to the module overview page.
