Setting Presentation Properties
Prerequisites:
- Administrators: Complete prerequisites to enable user access to the Design tab. See Page Builder Prerequisites for details.
- The following instructions assume that the user doesn't create a presentation, or the user deleted the previous presentation. Users can only build one presentation per page. See Deleting Presentations for details to remove an existing presentation.
- The instructions assume that the user selects the container. See Selecting Containers for details.
Use the Presentation Properties area in the Design Presentation pane to name the Page Builder presentation the container will hold. Confirming the presentation name and container creates the presentation and allows you to add layouts. Specify the publishing target(s) to associate or remove in your presentation. By default, all publishing targets are associated with the presentation. If you publish the page, the CMS pushes page builder changes to the assigned publishing targets.
Additional information:
Note: In the How to Access column, use the screen captures as a guide to select objects that display specific Design Presentation pane properties areas. The highlighted (yellow) areas serve demonstration purposes in the screen captures and don't display as highlighted in the Design tab workspace.
Properties Area | Presentation Object | Description | How to Access |
---|---|---|---|

To set Presentation Properties:
- Click the Presentation Properties area in the Design Presentation pane.
- Enter a name for the presentation in the Name field.
- Ensure the desired container's ID populates the Container field. If the field isn't populated, repeat task 1.
- Click the Publishing Targets drop-down menu to view assigned publishing targets.
- Optional: If you don't want to associate all publishing targets with the presentation, click the Remove Publishing Targets minus (-) button on the -All Publishing Targets- option.
Note: By default, all configured targets receive published content. If the -All Publishing Targets- option is selected, no entries display to select in the Add Publishing Targets to Presentation dialog, as all are already selected.
- Optional: Click the plus Add Publishing Targets plus (+) button. The Add Publishing Targets to Presentation dialog displays.
- Select publishing targets or profiles to associate with the presentation. Click Select.
- Click the Apply checkmark (✔) button to create the presentation and commit changes to Presentation Properties.
The container displays with a checkered (i.e., transparent) background to indicate where to add layouts.
Next Steps: Add Layouts to create a grid structure within the container.
