> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.

> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Container page types are suitable for storing queries and transformations. Container page types don't contain any custom fields as they are created without a [coupled data table](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/custom-development/working-with-pages-in-the-api/page-database-structure.md).

Due to their limited functionality, container page types do not have the _Alternative forms, Fields, Layout, and Search fields_ tabs.

## Creating container page types

1. Open the **Page types** application.
2. Click **New page type**. A **New page type** wizard opens.

### Step 1

1. Fill in the values:
   - **Page type display name** - the system displays this name to users in the administration interface
   - **Namespace**: namespace distinguishes your page types from the default system types that use the _cms_ namespace. For example, you can use your site name as the namespace.
   - **Name** - page type identifier appended to its namespace

1. **Select** the **The page is only a container without custom fields** option.

2. Click **Next**.

### Step 3

Select the page types that will be supported as parents for pages of this type in the **Page** application's content tree.

1. Click **Add page types** and select a specific page type.
2. Click **OK**.
3. Click **Next**.

### Step 4

Assign the page type to all websites on which you want to use it.

1. Click **Add sites**.
2. Check the appropriate websites in the selection dialog.
3. Click **OK**.
4. Click **Next**.

### Step 5

The wizard has finished the configuration of the new page type.

Click **Finish**. You have created a new page type.
