Page

ITONICS Page is the webpage the end-user will see when accessing the Site.

There are two types of Pages:

  1. Layout-Page
    The layout page is fully customizable with HTML and Tailwind and can be used as a landing page and for whatever else that is needed. They can be dynamically changed and cross-referenced in other ITONICS Pages. Use them to setup the entire campaign page.
  2. Form-Page
    The form page, as the name indicates, is used to submit elements into the ITONICS Innovation OS, select an element type and submit any element you want.
    The form-page can be configured exactly like a processes form.
    Configure all properties necessary for the element, save, and any element submitted will appear in your Innovation OS.

This section explains how to create a Page, what to keep in mind, best-practices and an example.

Page Creation — Layout

Setup the HTML for the landing page, home page, contact page, privacy, and whatever else is needed for your use case. Follow the steps below to learn how.

After creating a Site, the next step is to add Pages to it.

  1. Go to Pages
  2. Press “+” next to “search pages”
  3. Select Layout
  4. Name the Page
  5. Press enter
    1. New Page will be created
    2. It will open in the editor window in the middle

Setting Options for Pages

A new page has a set of options that can be performed on the page.

Change its name or slug via the Page settings cog-icon and hidden behind the 3-dots button, perform:

  1. Mark as home
    Sets the redirect for the Site URL to this Homepage
    Only one Page can be set as home
  2. Hide page
    Important for already published Sites, hidden pages cannot be accessed outside of the editor.
  3. Rename
    Change name of the page
  4. Duplicate
    Creates an exact copy of the page

Page Setup — Layout

This section explains how to generate HTML code for the Layout Pages, how to integrate that into the Page, what else to keep in mind, and best-practices.

Prompt engineering

In the age of LLMs, creating HTML code is as easy as engineering the right prompt and copy-pasting it into the ITONICS code editor.

To generate HTML code that can be copy-pasted into the Page editor, follow these steps.

    1. Use case: Think of the exact scenario that you want to cover with this page.
      1. LLMs will consider every part of your prompt, therefore be as accurate as possible.
      2. Personalize — include the company's name, the goal of its innovation endeavours.
      3. Required buttons — Include whether or not the page should have a button to submit information (a link to a form page) and other UI elements.
      4. [Optional] If you have any technical knowledge, feel free to include detailed information.
    2. Required Keywords: Include these keywords in your prompt, otherwise it will not work.
      1. HTML — to ensure the result will be HTML code
      2. Tailwind — to ensure the result will be of high quality and will be able to be displayed properly.
        Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework, it is responsible for making the pages appear pretty, without this, all Pages will look dull and lame.
  1. Create your prompt
    1. Combine all the above into a single prompt, this can look something like this:
      Create a landing page for an Innovation Campaign at [company_name], think of their identity, they want to collect ideas that have the potential to enhance company processes and anything else that is beneficial to them. Include a button to submit ideas. Use HTML and Tailwind to make the site look good and professional. Include any animated <style> elements in the body, not the head.

Copy & Paste Into Editor

Important details, otherwise it won’t work.

The code editor already has a feature built-in that will do these steps, explained below, automatically, but if you paste your code and it doesn't work for whatever reason, make sure it aligns with the format, explained below, first.

HTML Structure

Having a basic understanding of HTML greatly helps with understanding the process of creating a layout page in the ITONICS code editor.
HTML files are always structured the same, in containers.

  1. DOCTYPE tag
  2. HTML beginning tag
    1. HEAD beginning tag
      1. HEAD section
    2. HEAD ending tag
    3. BODY beginning tag
      1. BODY section
    4. BODY ending tag
  3. HTML ending tag
Editing the Generated Code

To avoid unnecessary complications, before doing these steps, check whether or not the code editor already removed the <head> section and renamed the body-tags to div

We only need the BODY container and we have to rename the tag-name to div, that means we have to do a couple of changes to our code before it will display properly.

The steps are in order of where you will find the elements in the code, starting from the very top:

  1. Remove <!DOCTYPE html> tag
  2. Remove <html …> tag
  3. Remove <head> … </head> section including the tags
    Note: don’t get it confused with <header> … </header>, this one is fine.
  4. Replace <body …> with <div …>
  5. Replace </body> with </div>
  6. Remove </html>

Now the first word in the editor should be <div> or <div …> and the last word should be </div> or </div …>.

Editing in the Preview

Editing in the preview [1] is sometimes easier than going through the code and finding the exact container to edit.
Simply click on an element of the page [2] and change its properties on the right [3].

Editing the Code

The Code can be edited like any other HTML file. Just keep the restrictions of the code editor in mind.

Anything other than regular HTML with Tailwind could cause issues.

Page Setup — Form

Forms are the connection to the ITONICS ecosystem, use them to submit and create elements in the system.

All elements created with a Site form will have that Site as their “Site source” property value, this will be changeable in “External Sites V2” (soon).

Create a Form Page

Follow the steps below to create, configure, and implement a form-page into a layout-page, to make them accessible.

  1. Go to Pages
  2. Press the blue “+”
  3. Select Form
  4. Enter a name
  5. Press enter, you will be redirected to the form configuration

Form Configuration

Select an element type existent within the workspace, all properties from all element types are available for you to include in the configuration of the form, make sure to use the ones that are tied to the element type you are creating. to automatically display them in the element details tab.

Creating new properties in the Form is also possible, but they have to be added to the details in the Element Configuration of that element type after.

Note that must-have properties are not required, since a default value has to be set in the element configuration, but as best-practice, it is recommended to always include them, if semantically reasonable.

To learn all about the form configuration, follow the steps below.
  1. Choose an element type
    If none fits, create a new one in the Element Configuration.
    The form will be preconfigured with all must-have properties.
  2. Configure the form
    The configured form can look something like this
    1. Save changes
  3. Press on the cog in the top left next to the Form name to rename the slug or the page if needed.
  4. Form settings
    There are several settings for a Form page to specify confirmation behaviour, what happens with created elements etc.
    1. Explanation, see table below
  5. Link the form in a Layout-Page
    To make the Form accessible, it has to be included in a hyperlink on a Layout-Page.
    1. Go to any Layout-Page
    2. In the preview window, click on any hyperlink container
    3. On the right side settings, it should say “Link settings” in the top, there, set the Target to Page and choose your Form-Page.
