Endeca/Oracle Meta & Content Updates - Landing Pages

Meta Updates ENDECA/ORACLE: How-To

 

  • Login to the backend of the Live Site

  • Go to Experience manager

  • Click on Store US

  • Go to the section of the page that you want to edit. For example: Assisted Living Administrator

  • The default of the page is usually One column page

  • You'll see Title – this is the SEO Meta Title. Make your changes.

  • You'll see Description – this is the SEO Meta Description. Make your changes.

  • Sometimes you'll see Sub-header Title this will be an H4. Engineering ticket in to make this an H2.

  • Click Save Changes.

 

  • If pages are using the OneColumnLandingPage, then H1s should all be in the same place. Main Content > Landing Page image and text > Heading

 

 

  • Then go back to the top to Experience Manager and click EAC Admin Console

  • Go to Scripts

  • Make sure the Auto refresh status checkbox is checked

  • Promote authoring to live – make sure you click start on this one and not the one below or above as apparently that could cause major issues!

  • The status will update to Running when updating

  • The status will update to Not running when completed

 

 

  • When done, go to the live front end of the site and inspect the page to ensure your changes were properly updated.

 

  • When confirmed that updates are live, go to the staging site, repeat the same process, and make the updates again on staging.

 

 

Testing Changes on Staging/Dev

  • So for Endeca you should make your changes in the Dev environment first then test the dev site to make sure everything is ok.

  • Then you can go into the production environment and update it. You don’t have to push it from dev. You would basically have to rebuild it a 2nd time

  • The dev environment is not an exact copy from production either fyi.

 

If you are making updates on the LIVE site follow these steps:

  1. Make the change to the site then click "Save Changes" in the top right corner.
