The landing page editor now is easier to use and offers more flexibility. Choosing which landing page to use is now more visual, the phone field can now be hidden, landing pages can be copied and deleted right from the editor, the next page can be selected by choosing from a list instead of pasting in a URL, and usability on mobile devices has been improved.
Choose a Landing Page Template Visually
First, when you're creating a new landing page, the selection of available pages has been made more visual, and the landing page templates have been arranged to put similar templates next to each other. This makes it easier to find the best landing page for your situation instead of having to remember the name of it. Clicking Create Landing Page now opens a window like the following where you can choose from the available templates and click on one to start building your landing page.
Copy and Delete Landing Pages
Next, the Settings button now has two parts, like the page builder does. Clicking the Settings button on the left opens the Page Settings window. If you click the arrow on the right side of the button, new options appear to open the landing page in Kiosk Mode, make a copy of the landing page or to delete it while editing the landing page, instead of having to go back to the list of landing pages to perform those actions:
Send Visitors to Website Custom Pages More Easily
You can now choose a website custom page to send visitors to after they register without needing to copy and paste the page URL. This means no more struggling to find the right page, and when you share this landing page in a resource bundle, the page you select here will come automatically in the bundle and be connected to the landing page! This makes sharing a funnel that starts with a landing page much easier. If you don't know which page you want to use or just want to see which page that's currently being used, click the little pencil icon to the right of where it says "website custom page", and it will show you the page so you can see if it's the correct one.
Hide the Phone Field
The phone field now can be hidden, too! In the Settings box, uncheck the new "Show Phone" box and the landing page will not show the Phone field.
Easier to Use on Mobile Devices
The landing page editor now works much better on mobile devices, too. The background of editable fields is now highlighted in a light yellow so you can see what is editable and not have to guess where to tap (see below), and the button menu now gets out of the way so you can edit landing pages more easily. The Settings box now offers larger tap targets to make it easier to perform actions, and the user interface is cleaned up a bit to make it easier to use.
We hope these changes make your landing page experience better. As always, please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any comments, questions, or anything we can help with!
Now, it's even simpler to make your home page what you want it to be, and even choose a home page that isn't in your menu! To set a custom home page, click on the Customize My Site menu item in the menu, then choose your home page from the "I would like my home page to be" field. You can choose from one of the built-in website themes, your blog, or a custom page, and easily choose a landing page, too, if you'd like.
The rest of the Customize My Site page has been organized to make it easier to use and to know which setting applies to what area of your site.
The page editor itself also has a way to make your home page be the current page that you're editing, so you don't have to go looking elsewhere. Click this new little dropdown next to the Settings button, and then choose to set this page as the home page of your site. Additionally, there now is a way to make a copy of the page you're editing and even delete the page.
You can continue to use the menu editor to set a custom home page as well.
We love your feedback! Please let us know if you have any questions or comments at support@GetOiling.com. Thank you!
Have you ever known what you're looking for and wanted to go right to it? Now, you can, with the new search bar at the top of the GetOiling back office!
Click in the "type to find something" bar and type to find it! Whether it's a name of a page or a campaign or a contact, or a feature in the system, it will show you a list of what matches and you can jump right to it.
Want to make shortcuts to your favorite feature, page, contact, saved reply, etc.? Pin an item to the bar for easier access. Click the pin icon next to each item and it will stay in your pinned items until you remove it from the pinned list. If you'd like to open an item in a new tab, click the New Tab button shown below, too.
We hope this feature helps save time in your business by allowing you to navigate the system more quickly and efficiently. Please reach out to support@GetOiling.com if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions with this new feature. Thank you!
There are two exciting updates for the GetOiling editor!
1. Button colors may now be quickly and easily changed, and links may be switched to buttons and vice versa. Now, when editing a link, click the Style icon and choose from one of your button styles and the button will change colors, or the button can be changed to a link. Watch the short video below to see this in action.
2. It's now easier to create a link that jumps to another part of the page (sometimes called "anchor links") using the page editor. First, edit the section that you want a link to jump to by clicking the section settings icon shown here:
Next, scroll down and enter a jump-to name for the section. In this example below, the name entered is chapter-1 .
Finally, go to another section on the page and then insert a link, and then enter in # plus the section's jump-to name into the URL box, as shown below. In this example, #chapter-1 is put into the URL box. Then, save your page and click on the link to test it out!
If you have any questions or feedback on these updates, please let us know at support@GetOiling.com. We hope you find these changes make your life a bit easier when working with GetOiling!
After hearing from many of you that you'd like it to be faster and easier to go right to what you want to in the GetOiling back office, we're excited to announce this new quick start feature on your GetOiling dashboard. It allows you quickly go to specific areas in the system without looking through the menu.
Most of these are links to common features in the GetOiling back office, but there are three that operate differently:
- Send Email or Text. This allows you to easily choose one or more contacts and send an email or text to them right from the dashboard.
- Send Campaign. If you want to send a campaign to one or more people, this link allows you to easily do so. This can be very useful for content creators who provide monthly newsletters in the form of a campaign - it allows you to more easily send the campaign.
- Find Contact. Type in all or a part of the name or email address of the contact you want to find right from the dashboard.
The rest of the links are based on a combination of feedback from everyone and links that are used most frequently. This panel can be collapsed by clicking the "What would you like to do today?" header.
If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at support@GetOiling.com . Thank you!
