It is important to note that page routes are checked each time a search is performed. Lower sequence numbers are examined first – therefore frequently used pages (i.e. 'Home', 'Login'), should have a lower value than pages such as 'Terms & Conditions', which might only be viewed occasionally. |
To Edit a Page Route:
- From the 'SEO Page' and 'SEO Tab' inside that page, use the search bar above the grid containing the page routes to find the page route to maintain.
- Select the page route's record from the grid.
- Click on 'Modify' which is located below the grid containing the page routes.
- Update the relevant details for the page routes.
- Click on 'OK' to save the changes or 'Cancel' to leave the page's route details as is.
- Click on 'Re-register Routes' in order for the edited page route to be operational for the site.
