Shortcut Page Type
The 'Shortcut' page type is useful in situations such as a) wanting a page to appear in more than one part of a menu - in this situation one would use the 'Shortcut to page' option (see below) or b) for a page that has subpages but which does not need a page of its own - in this situation one would use the 'Shortcut mode' (see below). The 'Shortcut' page type has two options:
- 'Shortcut to page' is a direct link to a page one can select by clicking on the 'Browse for files' (see above)
- 'Shortcut mode' has two different modes for sub-page shortcuts: 'First subpage' and 'random subpage'
