Home > Screen-by-Screen Help > Step 3: Manage Albums in this Gallery > Options tab > Info page

Info page

This option enables you to create an Info page (e.g. "About us," "Our Mission," "History," etc.). 

How to use this option

The Info page is actually a specialized album made by using the same image and album editing options that you use to create a regular album. This "album" which has only one page view, is displayed when the viewer clicks Info in the upper righthand corner of the gallery. You can only create one Info page per gallery. Be sure to see the Visual Overview for an example of how this page can look so that you will understand the sections below. 

Creating an Info page album

Your Info page will include:

  • Page title: use the Album description feature to create this title
  • Section headings: use the Short captions feature to create these headings
  • Section body text: use the Long description feature to create the body text
  • Image section: an image appears to the right of each section

To create your Info page album:

  • Go to Step 3 and click New album
  • The wizard will take you to Step 2 where you will Add images. Because the Info page is still an album (a specialized one), the same album creation process is used, so you will need to Add images. The number of images you add will determine the number of sections on your page
  • Once you have added your images, click the Text tab
  • Select the thumbnail of the first image
  • Thinking of this image as a "section" of the Info page, write your heading for that section in the Short caption field (for example, perhaps you'll have sections entitled "Our Mission," or "About Our Team," or "Company History," etc.)
  • Next, for that image, or "section," write the section body text in the Long description field
  • Do this for each image (or section) in this panel. When you are done, click Next
  • In Step 3, select the thumbnail for your Info page album
  • Write your Info page title in the Album description field next to the album thumbnail
  • Congratulations! You have created your Info page album

To create the Info page:

  • Select the thumbnail of the album you created to serve as the Intro page album (see instructions above)
  • Click the Options tab
  • In the Info page section, check the box next to Use images and text from this album to create Info page
  • The Hide album(s) box is checked by default so that your Info page album will not appear along with other albums on the Intro or Index pages of your gallery  
  • When your gallery is generated, the Info page you created will be displayed when the viewer clicks Info in the upper righthand corner of the gallery

Changing the Info link label

You can change the name of the Info link label that appears in the upper righthand corner of the gallery. For example, you might prefer to change it to "About us," "My profile," etc.

To rename the link:

  • Go to Step 5 and click the Label tab
  • In the Info field under Labels, type the name as you would like it to appear
  • When your gallery is generated, the name you entered will appear instead of Info
