Individual start pages for resources

1. Create an individual start page

  1. go to the resources, which shall have an individual start page
  2. go to the pull-down menu in the right upper corner
  3. select ECHO_layoutTemplate and then startpage_index_template
  4. press the button “add”
  5. change the template

Notice: If you put the startpage_index_template on a higher level, all resources after that will have this start page, except the ones which have an own startpage_index_template.

If you want to have a table of contents, create a pageTemplate and write the table of contents. This Template has to be named toc_html! Put the template into the resource it belongs to, even though the startpage_index_template is on a higher level. This lets you have only one startpage_index_template for a whole collection.

2. Use the individual start page

To use the individual start page, do the following:

  1. go to the resource where it shall be used
  2. go to the tab “set/change startpage”
  3. select “Click here for the generic automatically generated version”
  4. submit query

You can use an external website as start page. In order to do that, specify the path of the website in the provided field.
