Creating a Page Set

Follow these steps to make a Page Set.

Updated over a week ago

For more general information on Page Sets, refer to the Getting Started with Page Sets article.

Page Sets are easy to create, easy to add user permissions and provide even more flexibility than Groups, which they replaced.

Create or Edit Page Sets

  1. Select Settings in the top navigation.

  2. Select Page Sets under Account Settings in the left navigation.

  3. Select the Create Page Set button on the Manage Page Sets panel.

  4. Enter the name for the Page Set in the Name field.

Adding Pages to a Page Set

Choose the Page Matching Behavior you want for your Page Set from two dropdown options:

  • Include all pages - includes all the pages in all of the sites you will select

  • Use custom rules - includes a subset of pages from the sites you will select using rules that you will configure

Using Custom Rules

Selecting Use custom rules for the Page Matching Behavior allows you to include and/or exclude pages in selected sites to pull in the pages you want.

Include Pages

Select the Include Pages tab to create the rules for determining which pages you want included across the site(s) you will select.

If you plan on adding multiple rules to this Page Set, decide if it should match all of the rules you specify or match any of the rules you specify. If you're not sure, you can easily adjust this later.

If no Include Rules are specified, all pages in Selected Sites will be included, subject to any Exclude rules you may create.

The Match Pages by dropdown menu gives you four options for the type of match you want to create with the rule:

  • Path equals
    There are two ways you can enter the value for Path equals :

    • Starting with http(s), for example: https:// example.com/spanish/help

    • Root relative: /spanish/help , the first / is required

    This will ONLY pull in pages within the exact path https:// example.com/spanish/help/page-name

    Not, https:// example.com/spanish/help/2022/page-name

  • Path starts with
    There are two ways you can enter the value for Path starts with :

    • Starting with http(s), for example: https:// example.com/spanish

    • Root relative: /spanish , the / is required

    If you configure the option Path starts with the value /spanish, for example, it will pull in all of the following URLs that match from the sites you choose:

    • example.com/spanish/products/

    • example.com/spanish/help

    • example.com/spanish/contact

    It will not pull in:

    • example.com/flyers/spanish/local/

    • example.com/landing/spanish/

    • example.com/es/spanish-notes.php

  • Path contains
    Path contains means the value you enter can occur in any location in the path.
    This is also a good way to pull in any commonly named pages across your sites. For example, if you wanted to gather all of the contact_us.php pages from your chosen sites, you would enter that page name and choose Path contains.

    Using Path contains with the value spanish, all of the following pages will be included:

    • example.com/flyers/spanish/local/

    • example.com/landing/spanish/

    • example.com/es/spanish-notes.php

  • Title contains
    Title contains allows gathering of pages across sites using common Page Titles from your HTML.

Exclude Pages

Excluding page rules are set up exactly like Include page rules, but they work the opposite.

Exclude page rules are not required for a Page Set.


Adding or Removing a Rule

Select the Add Rule button. Remember that multiple rules will be applied in your Page Set using your selection of either match all or match any.

If your Page Set contains more than one rule, you will see an X at the end of the text field containing the value for that rule. Simply select the X, and the rule will be removed. Don't forget to re-save the Page Set.

Adding Sites to a Page Set

  1. Select the Select Sites button. A right-hand drawer will appear that allows you to select Sites.

  2. The sites that you select will have a check next to them.

  3. Once you have selected all of the appropriate sites, select Save at the top of the drawer. The Sites will appear in the Sites table for the Page Set.

  4. Finally, select Create to finalize your Page Set settings.

Adding Users

  1. To select the users that you would like to access the Page Set, select the Users Access tab at the top of the panel. Users are not required for a Page Set to be made if it is being created for reporting purposes.

  2. Select the Select users button.

  3. A drawer will expand from the right side, which allows you to select the desired users.

    Users that are selected will have a check next to their names.

  4. Once you have selected all of the appropriate users, choose the Select button at the top of the drawer. Selected users' names will appear in the Users table for the Page Set.
    The role options are Viewer, Manager, and Admin. Read the Abilities for Each Role article to review an explanation of the available roles.

  5. Select the Save button to save your work.

Note: If you don't select anyone here, those who have a Role not Determined at Site/Page Set Level will have access to the Page Set. That would be your account level Admins, Managers, and Viewers.

The Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO issues tabs will show you any items which have been ignored across for each item in your Page Set.

The Bad Links, Spell Check and Flagged Words tabs will show you what has been ignored and allow you to upload special additions for this Page Set.

You can add items in these tabs by either adding in the New ignored link/ignored word/flagged word box and selecting the plus button or importing a CSV file. Refer to CSV upload format for details.
