Creating and Managing Pages in Alosant (Locations, Amenities, Clubs, and Marketplace Pages)

Summary

Pages are the foundation for most content in the Alosant app. They are used to display locations, amenities, clubs, marketplace businesses, and informational content. Pages appear in Custom Menus and can optionally be pinned to the Home feed, allowing admins to control how users discover and interact with content.

FAQ

What types of content use Pages?
Locations, amenities, clubs, marketplace businesses, and informational content all use Pages.

Can pages be pinned to the Home feed?

Notes / Escalation

Important: Deleting or changing page types can affect menus, triggers, reservations, and visibility.
Important: Revealing Marketplace pages to guest users can automatically create new user accounts and assign roles.
Internal-only note: If the “Marketplace User” role does not exist, guest followers may see unintended menus.
Escalate to the Alosant internal teams if page visibility, reservations, or follower behavior does not work as expected.
