How to create a blueprint at the page level

The value and power of blueprints comes from the ability to ask the user to populate a given substitution field, and then populating that field throughout the blueprint. Therefore, before you begin building your page blueprint, you'll want to consider the substitution fields you'll want to employ.

Once you're familiar with the .json file, substitution fields, and the basics of blueprints, you can begin creating a page blueprint.

You will need to have the Brikit Blueprint Maker app installed and have administrative permissions in order to create a blueprint.

  • Create a page that will become a blueprint
  • Define the blueprint in the pageBlueprints object in the json file
    • Name
    • Space Key: The key of the space where the blueprint page resides
    • Page Title: Name of the blueprint page
    • Blueprint Fields: List of the substitution fields used in the blueprint
      • Both built-in and custom fields
        • Not required, but useful
      • Sets the order the fields will appear in the Wizard
    • Include Children: Toggles whether child pages will be included when building the blueprint
    • Description
      • Appears below the blueprint name in the Blueprint Menu
