Page Components and Page Contents

The layout and information in a Get Started page is defined using page components and their corresponding page content.

This topic describes the various types of page components that can be used to configure a Get started page and the content format for each of the page component.

There are four types of page components that can be used to configure a Get Started page, which are as follows:

  • Quick Start Links
  • Terms to Know
  • Learn More
  • External Links

For each page component, except External Links, a corresponding page content record(s) are added, which are displayed on the Get Started page.

The following table provides information on the types of page component and page content that can be configured and displayed on the Get Started page.
