The OC A-Z Item content type is designed for use on a listing page to create an A-Z index of search terms to make it easier for your community to find popular pages. An A-Z item acts as a redirect so your community can access important pages through multiple names. An OC A-Z Item page will need to be created for every entry you include in the directory.
For example, while you may have a page on your site titled 'Waste Collection,' community members may use terms such as 'Trash,' 'Rubbish' or 'Bins'. Creating an A-Z Item for each of these terms lets your community find the 'Waste Collection' page even if they're looking for 'Rubbish.'
How to create an OC A-Z Item page
- Right-click in your site tree where you would like to create the page. To keep your site tree organized, we recommend creating all A-Z items under the A-Z Directory page.
- Select Create Page.
- Choose OC A-Z Item as the content type.
- Fill in the necessary fields.
