How to create a blueprint at the page level

The value and power of page blueprints comes from the ability to ask the user to populate a given substitution field, and then populating that field throughout the blueprint

Requirements / Permissions

Before you begin building your page blueprint, you'll want to:

  • familiarize yourself with the .json file, substitution fields, and the basics of blueprints
  • consider the substitution fields you'll want to employ
  • make sure Brikit Blueprint Maker is installed and enabled
  • confirm you have administrative permissions

 

  • Create the page that will become a blueprint
  • Define the blueprint in the pageBlueprints object in the json file by populating:
    • Name (A human-readable name)
    • Description (Appears below the blueprint name in the Blueprint Menu)
    • 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 in the blueprint)

  • Define each substitution field in the blueprintFields object in the json file by populating:

    • ID (A unique ID for the field)

    • Name (A human-readable name)

    • Required (A toggle for whether the field is required)

    • Type (Defines the length of the field)

    • Help Text (Additional text to assist the user in filling out the field - appears below the data-entry field in the blueprint wizard)

    • Placeholder (Default text in the field)

  2. Add the tight-bottom class to the Steps block above to narrow the gap between the two blocks.
