    Good Morning all. Here is what I am trying to do -

    I need to create a page of links to other pages. The links need to be assigned an order during the creation/editing process.

    My initial thoughts were to assign each resource a number order, but I don’t know how to generate the list of resources on the parent page to choose from. I also thought about 2 multi-select boxes one with all of the existing resources, and somehow drag and drop the resource into the second multi select in the order desired (this is the preferred method, but I don’t see anything like that in the template input options).

    Can anyone give me any insight into this or any ideas of how to generate a list of resources dynamically for a parent page?

    Thanks!
    John

      Hi,
      I would just do what I always do when I want a human-readable sitemap: simply do a Wayfinder call, and style the results. You can aim the call to show all documents, or one branch, zillions of options. Setting Menu Index on your pages will take care of the order. This can be done per document, or done en masse using Doc Manager (Modules, Doc Manager, etc.)
