ATLAS Pages Application
The Pages Application displays the entire website in an index view to allow for moving, editing, adding, cloning and deleting web pages.
Page Actions
Page actions change the mode of the workspace from editing to preview to listing.
Content Tree Actions
These actions effect the content tree workspace to add, delete, duplicate or move pages in the website.
Content Tree Workspace
This is a tree-like representation of the entire website organized in a hierarchy. Each page type in the tree has an icon to identify it. These pages are controlled by the Content Tree Actions as discussed above. To learn more about the various pages types that can be added to the content tree, visit the ATLAS Page Types support page.
Clicking on any Page Type icon in any View Mode in the Content Tree changes the content that appears in the Page View Workspace to the right. Once selected it can be edited or previewed.

Parts of an Atlas Web Page
It is helpful to step back and consider the foundational building blocks of an Atlas web page. An Atlas web page consists of three parts: the header, the body and the footer. When a new blank page is added to a site the header and footer are automatically pulled in. The body area has an initial grid layout to kickstart building the page.

1. Page Header
What is the page header?
The page header appears automatically at the top of every page of the website unless specifically suppressed. It is typically composed of a brand logo which is clickable and takes the visitor to the home page, plus a main menu area of primary links with optional drop-down menus of secondary links, and a secondary navigation area of text links at the very top. On mobile these elements are reduced to a logo and a simplified menu that accesses the same main navigation links.
Editing the Page Header Content
Main menu items can be added by creating new ATLAS Page Menu pages at the top level of the site tree. Pages or anchor tags can be added in the drop down menu by creating a new subpage below a main menu item in the site tree. Adding or editing text links in the secondary links area at the top of the header requires the asisstance of the Atlas team.
2. Page Body
What is the page body?
The page body is the flexible editable framework for adding content to the web page.
Editing the Page Body: First Use Sections to Lay Out the Page
Adding content first requires the addition of one of three types of section layouts. Adding a section creates a customizable frame to plug in widgets from the extensive widget library. The clickable gray plus icon opens a popup to select an Accordion, Tab or Grid layout to be added to the page. Each of these layouts is responsive, meaning that they adjust based on the size of the browser screen and are optimized for mobile.
About the Three Section Layout Types
Clicking and holding the gray plus icon anywhere it appears on an Atlas web page opens a menu of three section types. Sections are the page building frameworks that hold widgets. Selecting any of these drops it on the page and it’s ready to be filled with content by adding a widget via the blue plus icon. The three section types are Accordion, Foundation Tab and Grid. The gear-shaped properties icon to the right opens a popup to customize the background color or image, the margins and the padding. Each grid cell can hold multiple widgets and will stretch vertically to accomodate them.
Editing the Page Body: Add Widgets to Section Layouts
What is a widget?
Widgets are plug and play components you use to build and edit your website. They are designed to look great and be simple to use no matter what their function. You add widgets to the page sections using the blue plus Add Widget icon.
There is an initial Grid layout at the top of the page to get started. The blue plus icon signifies a place that a widget can be added. Once a widget is added, a new blue plus icon appears below. Note that each section layout can hold mulitiple widgets.
Types of Widgets
There are four general types of widgets as explained below:
2. Data from ATLAS Applications

The content typically features a brand logo, the main business address and phone, key page links and direct links to social media properties. Beneath the custom footer area there is copyright information and links to the site map and privacy policy plus a small Winfield United Atlas logo.
