Introduction: Customizing your SharePoint pages is essential to success. Not only do you need to make them look great, but you also need to be sure they provide the functionality your user’s demands. You can’t just slap together a placeholder for your users—you need to create custom pages that meet their needs and expectations. That’s where the power of customer research comes in. By understanding what type of user experience they want, you can develop pages that are perfect for them.
How to Create Custom SharePoint Pages.
A custom SharePoint page is a document that is created specifically for your purposes. It may include content, images, and other elements that are not found on the default pages that are created when you first join a SharePoint organization.
You can create custom SharePoint pages by using the following methods:
1. By using the Add-In: Custom SharePoint Page Creator
2. By using the PowerShell cmdlet: $sharepoint = new-object System Share Point Extensions Custom Page Builder (“https://www.powershell.com/PSC/new-customization?autoConfig=true”, “My Custom Page”)
3. By using the Web Part: Custom SharePoint Page
1. By using the Add-In: Custom SharePoint Page Creator
To use the Add-In, you first need to install it on your computer. Once installed, open a command prompt and type “untar c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Custom Partials” into the command prompt and hit enter. This will take you to a folder where you can find the add-in file (.dell). To add a custom part to your page, follow these steps:
Open Office 14 and click on File -> New -> Section -> Custom Section… . The New Custom Section dialog box will appear. On the left side of this dialog box, select Custom Pages from the dropdown list. In the Name field, type My Custom Page and click OK. The My Custom Page section will be created in your document. You can now edit this section with any text editor like Notepad or Word.
2. By using the PowerShell cmdlet: $sharepoint = new-object System. Share Point Extensions Custom Page Builder(“https://www.powershell.com/PSC/new-customization?autoConfig=true”, “My Custom Page”)
When creating a custom SharePoint page with this method, you must supply two parameters:
The name of your custom SharePoint page (for example My Custom Page)
The path to an image or other element that will be included on your custom SharePoint page (for example /images/photo1)
How to Use Custom SharePoint Pages.
Custom fields let you add additional information to your pages. To add a custom field to a page, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your SharePoint site.
2. Click on the ribbon at the top of the screen and select Custom Fields.
3. In the Custom Fields panel, select the field you want to add a field to.
4. Type the information you want to add into the field and click OK.
5. The custom field will be added to your page and will appear in the Database section of your viewport.
6. You can use this custom field to include details about your pages or to create buttons, images, or other elements on your pages.
7. When you need to change or update the information in this custom field, you can do so by editing it in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel and then refreshing your page or posts using the custom field’s default values.
Tips for Using Custom SharePoint Pages.
Custom fields are a great way to display data on your pages. To use them, simply add the field name to the page’s header, and then insert the data you want to show into the field.
To create a custom field, follow these steps:
1. In the Site Content area of your editor, click on the “File” link in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Select “New Item” from the resulting menu.
3. In the New Item dialog box, type in a name for your new field and click OK.
4. The new field will appear in your site content and will be associated with a specific table or item in your database.
5. To display data using your custom field, copy and paste the data you want to display into the field and then click on its yellow checkbox to activate it.
6. Click on any of your pages that need data Displayed from a Custom Field, and then press F5 to run the Page Formatting utility and format out all of the text in your custom field so that it looks like standard SharePoint text formatting (e.g., bold, italics, underline).
Use Custom Tags to Display Data.
You can also use tags to display data on your pages. To do this, simply add one or more tag phrases to each line of data you want to show up as custom tags on your page (e.g., “custom field[tag]”, “custom tag [tag]”). Then paste those tag phrases into every line of code when you write page content or when you postulate items using tags (i.e., whenever you want to show up as an item in a search results list).
Use Custom Images to Display Data.
If you want to include images on your pages instead of text, you first need to create some basic images for use with custom fields (see below). Then copy and paste those images into every line of code when you write page content or when you postulate items using tags (i.e., whenever you want to show up as an item in a search results list).
Conclusion
Custom SharePoint Pages are an incredibly powerful way to create pages that are easy for users to understand and use. By using custom fields, custom tags, images, and buttons, you can add detailed information to your pages and give your customers a great experience. Additionally, by using custom SharePoint Pages in conjunction with social media and other marketing channels, you can reach a wider audience and boost sales.
