The Voice Structured Content Module provides a central location for viewing and editing the site content defined for the pages and components.
Structured Content – Pages and Components
There are two types of structured content; Pages and Components.
- Pages are full site pages that have a friendly url
- Freeform pages – page defining layout with rows and columns
- Structured pages – focused on content, layout defined in standard template
- Components are general pieces of content, usually used within a widget
The left side of the Structured Content Module screen contains the following:
- Listing of Content Apps organized in pages and components tabs with a count of the number of items in the list. The count of the number of items in the list displays the total count of ALL multi-lingual language versions.
- Content Apps are created in AppManager, to create a new content app, or change the settings for an existing content app, please refer to AppManager Content App Settings.
- A search box is provided to search for content app types.
- A sort order to change the alphabetical listing to ascending/descending.
The right side of the Structured Content Module screen contains the following:
- The Create New button is used to add a new content item to the content app list (in our example, a new News item with content format of author)
- Basic and Advanced Filters for filtering the content list to make it easier to find the desired content item. Users can
- search by title using the search box
- filter by status of content (Published, Pending, Draft, Rejected)
- filter by the person who originally created the content
- filter by the date content was created
- filter by the person who last edited the content
- filter by the date content was last created
- Use the Advanced Filter to search based on selected content fields using query terms within the items.
- Listing of each content item associated with the content app. The listing contains the title of the content, its current status, created by, date created, last edited by, and date last edited. Click on the content title to open the content for editing.
- Clicking on the ellipses for a content item will provide options to directly edit the item or view the changes made to the item in version history.
- The version history will display the changes made to the item in chronological date order and highlight the fields changed on the date selected.
Creating New Structured Content
For this example, we will add a new content item to the News. Clicking on the “Create New” button displays all of the available fields of information defined for the content in the editorial panel and non-editorial panel. The fields displayed in the editorial panel (left side of screen) and non-editorial panel (right side of screen) is set up by the admin for the site, so content authors only need to know what information is required based on the content app type (author, slider, curated) when creating new content. Completing all the applicable fields is as easy as using any word process (in fact, you can cut and paste text from Word if desired!).
Following is an example of the create new screen for News, followed by an explanation of the fields associated with the News author format type content:
Editorial Panel
The Editorial Panel displays the page content for the site.
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Title | This is the title of the item that will appear on the website.

When app usage is defined as Pages, the Properties tab and Search tab will display. When app usage is defined as Components, the Properties tab will display.
When enabled for the content app, the Engagement, Permissions, and/or Personas tabs will display in the non-editorial panel. To enable, go to Settings > Content Settings > edit the content app and enable the desired options for the content app.
