- Automatically categorize a page under a parent page.
- Automatically add labels to the page.

## Create the link

As a Confluence space administrator, create a form for adding pages about the organization products.

1. Create a space template named `Product template` and populate it with the base structure for the product pages.
2. Create a page named `Products` and insert the **[Add Page](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LINC/pages/471762282/Add+Page?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMjU2ZmUyZjhiNmM5NGFhZDg3ZTNkMmI4YjcwOWRhZjAiLCJwIjoiYyJ9)** macro.
3. For the **Create link text** parameter, enter `Create a product page`.  
Confluence users will see this text when viewing the link on the page.
4. To configure the base structure for the generated pages, specify the following *Page source* parameters:
  - Set **Source type** to **Template/blueprint** to use a Confluence template as the base for the new pages.
  - From the** Source** drop-down list, select the Confluence template you created in step 1, that is, **Product template**.
5. For the **Parent** parameter, leave the default **Current page** value.  
This setting creates new pages as child pages of the page that hosts the link.
6. Expand the **Configure page title prefix/postfix **section and set the **Page title prefix** parameter to `Product - `. This setting ensures that all new pages are named *Product - <Product Name>*.
  - The titles of all pages begin with *Product.*
  - The editor can add the specific product name to the page title.
7. For the **Labels **parameter, enter `product`.  
This setting adds the *product *label to the new pages.
8. Click **Insert**.
9. Optionally, insert the **Child Pages** macro.
10. Click **Publish**.

## Create a page using the link

As a Confluence page editor, to create a page for a product using the link:

1. On the *Products *page, click the **Create a product page** link.  
A page draft, named *Product -,* opens in edit mode. It contains the *Product template* content.
2. Add the product name to the page title.
3. Fill out the template for the corresponding product.
4. Click **Publish**.

The page is created as a child page of the *Products *page.
