Adding A Buttons Module

Once you have added your section and formatted it to your liking, simply click the “Buttons” content module, located in the side menu. Once clicked, drag the module into the page, you will notice a blue highlighted box appear on the page wherever it is possible to add the module.
Note: Adding a section is covered in its own knowledge base article.
Adding Buttons
1. Once you have added the buttons content module to the page, hover over and click the module and click the edit button, the edit button appears as a pencil icon in the top right of the section.
2. Once the edit window loads you will be given the ability to add one or more buttons. By default the system will create a single button, to name and link this button click the grey downward arrow located on the far right of the button. This will give you the two fields below:
Text - Allows you to add button text ie: Click Here or Read More
Button Link Type - Allows you to choose the type of link the button will use
User Friendly Page Link - This option allows you to link a page within your website, it uses the page name for best SEO practice, this is the option we recommend using for all internal links, note that if the page name is ever changed you will need to go back and manually update all links using this option.
Dynamic Page Link - This option allows you to link a page within your website, it uses page ID rather than page name so that if a page is ever renamed it will keep the link working correctly.
External Page - This option is used to link to pages that are not on your website.
Email Address - This option allows you to have the user email you from their default mail application on the device they are using.
File Manager Files - This option allows you to link to files in your image and file manager, such as PDF files.
Link To Anchor In The Text - Allows you to link to a certain area of a page.
