How Do I Work with Listing Pages?

Navigate to our DX Training Video guide for further visual guidance.

Purpose

The Listing Page allows you to create dynamic pages showcasing various content types in a list format. It simplifies the management and presentation of large amounts of similar content.

When to Use

This is ideal for situations where you need to display collections of content:

• News & Events: Create a "Newsroom" page listing all your news articles.
• Team Bios: Build a "People" page showcasing team member profiles.
• Training Materials: List all training materials or resources.
• Location Listings: Display a directory of your business locations.
• Custom Content Types: Utilize Listing Pages for any content type that benefits from a list format.

Elements of Listing Pages

• Content Source: Define the type of content you want to display in the list (e.g., "Basic Pages," "News," "Events").
• Automatic List Field: This field dynamically populates the list based on your chosen content type.
• Items per Page: Control the number of items displayed on each page of the list.
• Filters: Optionally enable filters to allow users to refine the list based on specific criteria (e.g., category, tags).
• Topic Targeting: Restrict the list to content assigned to a specific topic within your taxonomy.

Listing Pages Best Practices

The Listing Page allows editors to collect "buckets" of content together into one long list. These might be used, for example, for a "News Feed" or "Newsroom" page of all past news items, or a long list of all Basic Pages assigned to a specific Topic.

For example, the Training Playlist is a "listing page" of all basic pages, with the topic of "Training."

Options for your Listing Page include:

• Type of Content: such as How Do I, News, Basic Pages, Locations, Contacts, Documents
• Display as: such as a Teaser or set of Linked Titles
• Items per page: How many items do you want to display on the listing page
• Include filters: Filters appear at the top of the list and allow for additional filtering of content produced in the listing page
• Sort Alphabetically: Choose "True" for an alphabetized list
• Show only Topic: Constrain results to one "Topic" pulled from your "Topics" taxonomy list

Here are some variations:

Listing Page of Linked Titles, showing only one topic:

Listing Page of Linked Teasers, showing only one topic:

Listing Page of Teasers filtered by Title:

Listing Page of Teasers filtered by Title and Topic:

We recommend you build a Listing Page of all Basic Pages, and use that as a base to test options.
