Right hand content can be made up of individual pages.
This is a module and referred to as 'Custom Panel 1'
The page they are viewed on is created or edited in Step 2 below.
What is a Custom panel and why is it done in this way?
A Custom Panel is a self contained element, which is viewed in the right columns of website pages. It is set up like a mini page for text, images, links, videos and borders, etc, or mix of these elements. For example the grey menu list in the right column of this page are Custom Panels.
They are able to be used only if your website is setup with right columns.
Typically Custom Panels help organise a website by providing second tier navigation and links to areas associated with the page the user is currently on. This helps the manager to tactically promote certain aspects in different places of the website. For example, a Custom Panel graphic might promote and link to a special event with an ad graphic. By placing the Custom Panel in many high-traffic pages, you're able to direct traffic where you want it to go.
A Custom Panel also helps you repeat valuable information on many pages, for example, an event agenda or a list of reports might be repeated down the side of any number of pages. You can take careful time to make one Custom Panel page and edit it in only one place, in order to efficiently repeat the content with a tick on many selected pages.
The Custom Panel always starts as a regular page, which is converted to be a Custom Panel and available for display.
Once made, the Custom Panel can be seen in your Pages List (see this example with the special red note) and is available to load on any other pages.
