Creating and Managing Pages

Workflow Pages and Profile Pages are a collection of forms, text and other elements that define how information is presented to the end-user.

Workflow and Profile pages both support Liquid Template Language in text fields. Additional information about Liquid can be found here: http://shopify.github.io/liquid.

Workflow Pages

A workflow page is used to collect or display data during the execution of a workflow. These are the pages that users will fill out when creating or updating a new profile.

When creating a profile type a user is prompted to create supporting content, which would include a new page. If a page was already created for a profile type during this process, search for the profile type name and edit that page instead of creating a new page.
