Page types can be created without any custom fields. Such page types do not have a dedicated database table (opens in a new tab) and can be used for various purposes, such as:
By default, the system contains the Folder (CMS.Folder) page type. This is a page type without fields or any enabled feature, and you can use it to create generic folder pages when organizing your site's content tree. If required, you can safely remove this default folder page type and replace it with a custom page type.
Due to their limited scope, the editing interface of page types without fields does not contain or support the Alternative forms or Fields tabs.
The New page type wizard opens.
Page type display name – the system displays this name to users in the administration interface
Namespace – the namespace is a prefix that distinguishes between page types. For example, it can be used to separate page types created for different sites, identify page types imported as part of third-party modules, etc.
Name – a unique page type identifier, which is appended to the namespace.
Important
When creating page types, always use a unique namespace.
Never use the cms, com, om or content prefixes. A recommended option is to use your company name or an abbreviation as the prefix, for example: ACME_MyPageType.
Select the features that you want to enable for the page type, depending on the intended purpose of the given pages:
Click Next.
Click the Skip this step and continue without custom fields link in the wizard footer.
This skips step 4 of the page type wizard (where fields are defined for standard page types).
Select the parent page types under which pages of the new type will be allowed in the website content tree (when managing pages in the Pages application).
The wizard has finished the configuration of the new page type.
Click Finish. You have created a new page type without custom fields.
