Buckets
Site buckets overview
Site buckets are common areas on a website that are often a callout or link to get visitors towards the site's goals. These are used to promote programs, events, and highlight new offerings at the library.
Bucket regions are where this content lives, and are strategically placed - some appear site wide, and others only show on specific pages.
Front-end location
The front-end location for buckets will vary depending on your site and bucket selection. To get an idea of where this content goes, navigate to the bucket editor and compare the checked locations to the front-end to see where it matches up.
Bucket regions
Any website will have page templates, and each page template can have one or more bucket banks called regions. A region can have any number of buckets, and any bucket can be on any number of regions. Alternatively, some buckets are only meant for some regions.
Creating a new bucket
In the top left sidebar click 'New', then select from the list of front-end regions where you'd like the bucket to live. The location of the bucket can affect which bucket types are available to select.

Editing buckets
Site buckets are common sections on a website that often serve as callouts or links to guide visitors toward the site's goals. Site buckets can appear on one or multiple pages.
When editing buckets you can see exactly what the content will look like in the preview panel to the right, meaning you don't need to guess or keep a second tab open to check.
Available In: New Record and Edit Record
Hiding/changing bucket arrangement
Which pages buckets are found on can be easily changed by selecting the pages where each bucket should appear. Any page not selected will not display the bucket.
Available In: New Record and Edit Record
Previewing bucket content
It's possible to see what the content will look like on the frontend by clicking the preview button on the top right side of the page. The preview window can then be collapsed by clicking again.
Reordering buckets
The order of a bucket can be changed by navigating to the left side panel. Click the three horizontal lines icon 'hamburger menu' and drag the box up or down to rearrange.
Page specific buckets
Some pages may have specific 'aside' content. An example of this would be a page about hiring having a side link about who the best staff person to ask questions might be, or other specialized content.
Any given bucket can be limited to be on one or many pages, and limited by date.
