The OC Development Application content type presents ongoing and complete development applications in your city or council. While some details display on the listing page, the development application page shows in-depth explanations of the application so your community can see what's planned for the area.
The page fields and WYSIWYG Editor on the OC Development Application content type provide ample space for you to include all the necessary and essential details for your development applications. The content type utilizes a details table, body content, and side panels to effectively present all the information you need.
Create a development application page
- Right-click in the site tree and select Create Page. We recommend creating your development application pages under the development application listing page.
- Choose OC Development Application as the content type.
- Fill in the necessary fields.
- Publish your page.
If you have a listing for current and past development applications, you may want to create all OC Development Application pages under the current listing and move them under the past listing once their display date had passed. This will help keep your site tree organized.
