Service page and Data service

A Page - Service is used to create pages for Shelter service locations like community hubs.

This page can include:

  • map of the service’s location

  • introduction to the service

  • contact information

  • opening hours

  • list of areas the service covers

  • disabled access details

  • language services

  • links to any useful pages for those seeking the service.

Like some of our other page templates, this template works in tandem with a data entry: in this case, a Data - Service. This contains a service's basic information (contact details, location, opening times). So, as part of building a Page – Service, we need to build the data for it.

How to create the data entry

  1. Use Add entry to select Data Service. Then complete the following fields:

  2. Service name – this is the system name that CMS users will see

  3. Contact number 1 – add the phone number of the service here

  4. Contact number 1 text – add the copy you want to appear next to the phone number (e.g. ‘Contact’)

  5. There is also an option to add a second contact number and its accompanying copy in the same way

  6. Address – enter the address with each line separated by a comma

  7. You can add the Google Maps Place ID if needed.

  8. Opening times – enter the opening and closing times for each day of the week and select ‘Closed’ for days that the service isn’t open

  9. Location – select Address and enter the address with each line separated by a comma. Include the country

  10. Review what you’ve entered and then Publish the Data – Service.

How to create the page

  1. Use Add entry and choose Page - Service. Then complete your fields:

  2. Title – this will generate the H1 heading at the top of the page.

  3. Slug – this is the final part of the URL. It’s auto-generated when you complete the Title field, but you can change it if needed. Click Set and the CMS will validate the slug, which is the final part of the URL.

    NOTE: Once your slug is set and your page published and live, do not change it. This will change the URL and break links. Only the page title can be changed.

  4. Select parent – assign your page to its parent (the earlier parts of the URL). For example ‘Get help – Local services’. This will update the Full path field.

  5. Service – use Link existing entry to find and add the Data Service you’ve just created

  6. Main body copy – here you can include a description of the service. This copy will appear under the map and above the contact number and opening times.

  7. Useful info copy – any copy added here will appear under the opening times pulled through from the Data – Service. This is a good place to include useful information such as:

    • list of areas covered by the service

    • details about disabled access

    • language services available

    • links to other pages that could help someone who might use this service

  8. Assemblies – add any extra assemblies needed on the page. The two rich text editors (‘Main Body Copy’ and ‘Useful Info Copy’) can only embed assets and CTAs, so any other type of content will need to be added in this Assemblies section.
    The following types of content can be added here:

  • Assembly - Cards with icon  

  • Assembly - Content Cards Banner 

  • Assembly - CTA 

  • Assembly - Download banner 

  • Assembly - Form 

  • Component - Advice search box  

  • Component - Content grid - 4 

  • Component - Donation banner 

  • Component - Full width image 

  • Component - Google map 

  • Component - Inline callout 

  • Component - Link box 

  • Component - Services finder 

  • Component - Share block 

  • Component - Stats 

9. Page Information – Create your page’s metadata component. Here's a guide on how to do this

10. Use Preview to see your page looks and make adjustments.  

11. When you’re ready, Publish your page.
