This article details how to add and manage page sections.

What are sections?

A section is a flexible building block within a page. Sections hold widgets and can be:

  • Customized – Adjust its appearance with background colors, images, and opacity
  • Collapsed and expanded – Collapse or expand sections to hide or show content
  • Rearranged – Move sections up or down within a page
  • Duplicated – Create templates to reuse sections
  • Removed – Delete sections that are no longer needed

Section Templates

Section Templates are pre-designed sections that you can reuse in your Happeo pages. They can be created by you, your company's administrators, or by Happeo itself. By using section templates, you can save time and effort when creating new pages. You can learn more about Section Templates by referring to this article.

How to add a new section

You can add a new section in three different ways:

Select the Sections tab from the left-hand navigation

  1. Click on one of the following template categories:
    • Company Templates – Section templates created by your environment’s administrators 
    • My Templates – Section templates that you have created
    • Made by Happeo – Section templates that Happeo has made
    • Click on the section template you wish to add to your page
  2. Alternatively, you can start from blank:
    • Basic Section – A completely blank section
    • Collapsible Section – A blank section that can be expanded or collapsed

Section configuration

This tab allows you to customize the appearance and functionality of a specific section on your page. You can control whether the section is collapsible, choose a header icon, select background colors for the section and content, and even save your customized section as a reusable template.

  • Collapsible section – Toggle this option to allow the section to be expanded or collapsed. By default, the section will be collapsed when this option is enabled. To expand or collapse the section, users can click the arrow icon in the top-right corner of the section. A section header will be displayed to identify the content. When this option is toggled, you will also be able to adjust the following elements:
    • Section title – Set a title for the section header by clicking Section title in the section
    • Header icon – Select a header icon for the collapsible section. You can choose between the following options:
      • Select image – Choose an image from Google Drive, SharePoint, or OneDrive
      • Upload from computer – Enables you to upload an image file from your computer
      • Browse Unsplash – Allows you to select an image from Unsplash
    • Header background – Choose a background color for the section’s contents. The colors available to you will depend on what the system default is (transparent) and the brand style you are using
    • Content background – Choose the widget content’s background color
    • Save section as templateSave your customized section as a template. This template can be found in the ‘Sections’ tab and reused. Read more about Section Templates in this article

If you opt not to make your section collapsable, you can alter the following:

  • Section title – Provide a title for this section to be displayed in the table of contents

Note: Switching brand styles within a specific page group will revert previously selected colors to their system defaults. Additionally, when a brand style is modified within Admin Settings > Branding > Pages 2.0, only the page groups using the modified brand style will see the updated style. This behavior applies only if the page owner or editor hasn't manually overridden the brand style within the page editor. Learn more.

Section styles

This tab allows you to customize the visual appearance of your section. You can add a background image, adjust its opacity, and choose a background color. Additionally, you can use the padding setting to control the spacing between the section's content and its background.

  • Image – Select an image as your section background image. You can choose between the following options:
    • Select image – Choose an image from Google Drive, SharePoint, or OneDrive
    • Upload from computer – Enables you to upload an image file from your computer
    • Browse Unsplash – Allows you to select an image from Unsplash
    • Upon uploading or selecting an image – You can edit, replace image source, or delete the image by clicking on the respective buttons that appear on the image preview
  • Background image opacity – Set the level of transparency for the background image between 1 and 0.1. A value of 1 will make the image fully opaque, while 0.1 will make it almost completely transparent. Adjust the slider to fine-tune the desired opacity level
  • Background color – Select the background color of the section. The colors available to you will depend on what the system default is and the brand style you are using
    • Note: If you are using an image as the section background, the background color will not be applied
  • Padding – Adjust the amount of background visible behind the section header and widget. You can set a value between 16px and 64px. A larger value will show more of the background, making the section header and content appear smaller. A smaller value will minimize the background visibility, making the section header and content appear larger. Adjust the slider to fine-tune the amount of padding
