Custom Pages

Custom Pages is a built-in page builder that lets you create content pages for pilots in Phoenix. Pages can contain rich text, images, buttons, alerts, and embedded videos — all arranged in a flexible grid layout. Pages are organised into categories that control where they appear in Phoenix navigation.

Accessing Custom Pages

In Orwell, go to Pages → Custom Pages. You need the Can See Pages permission.

Page Categories

Each page belongs to a category that determines where it appears in Phoenix navigation:

Category	Navigation Placement	URL Path
Documents	Documents submenu	/phoenix/documents/{url}
Resources	Resources submenu	/phoenix/resources/{url}
Standalone	Top-level menu item with custom icon	/phoenix/pages/{url}
Special	Not shown in navigation	/phoenix/pages/{url}

• Documents and Resources appear grouped under their respective submenus in the Phoenix sidebar

• Standalone pages appear as top-level menu items with a custom FontAwesome icon

• Special pages are created for you (for example the Pegasus ACARS page). Their category, enabled state and URL are locked, but their title and content are not — and any staff member with Can See Pages can delete them

Creating a Page

Each page has the following settings:

• Title — page name shown in navigation. Auto-generates the URL slug.

• Category — determines navigation placement: Documents, Resources, or Standalone.

• URL — auto-generated from the title, editable. Prefixed with the category path (e.g. /phoenix/documents/).

• Enabled — whether pilots can see the page. Disabled pages are only visible to airline staff.

• Hidden in Nav — the page is accessible via its direct URL but not shown in navigation menus. Useful for pages you link to from other content.

• External URL — makes the page a redirect link to an external website. No content editor is shown when enabled.

• Icon — FontAwesome Light icon name (e.g. "magnifying-glass"). Only available for Standalone pages.

• Rank Restriction — limit page visibility to specific ranks. Leave empty for all pilots to see the page.

Page Content

Page content is built using a visual builder with two types of containers:

• Panels — card containers with a visible heading. Each panel has a width (1–12 grid columns), an optional internal note (visible only to staff), and can contain multiple components.

• Headless Panels — same as panels but render without a visible heading. Useful for layout sections that don't need a title.

Inside panels, you add components — text, images, buttons, alerts, or videos. Each component also has its own width setting and optional rank restriction, giving you fine-grained control over layout and visibility.

The width setting uses a 12-column grid. A width of 12 means full width, 6 means half width, 4 means one-third, and so on. Components placed next to each other will flow into rows automatically.

Component Types

Text

Rich text content using the TipTap editor. Supports formatting, links, lists, and more.

Image

Upload images with optional dark mode support:

• Light mode image (required) — the default image shown to pilots

• Dark mode image (optional) — automatically displayed when the pilot uses dark mode

• URL (optional) — makes the image a clickable link

• Positioning — left, right, or centre alignment

Button

A styled button linking to an external URL:

• Title and URL (required)

• Style — Info, Success, Warning, Danger, Primary, or Secondary

• Optional rich text description displayed below the button

Internal Button

Same as Button but links to another custom page within the airline instead of an external URL. Select the target page from a dropdown. Only non-external pages appear in the list.

Alert

A coloured notice box with rich text content. Available styles: Info, Success, Warning, Danger, and Primary.

YouTube Video

Embed a YouTube video by entering its video ID — the part after v= in a YouTube URL.

Rank-Based Visibility

Rank restrictions can be applied at three levels:

1. Page level — controls who sees the page in navigation and can access it via URL

2. Panel level — controls who sees specific panels within an accessible page

3. Component level — controls who sees individual components within a visible panel

When no ranks are selected at any level, all pilots can see that element. Both a pilot's primary rank and honorary rank (if assigned) are checked against the restriction.

Special Pages and the ACARS Page

Special pages are created for you rather than by your staff. Their category, enabled state, navigation visibility and URL are locked in the editor — but their title and content are not, and the protection stops there. The delete button is greyed out in the list, but the one on the page's own edit screen is not, so any staff member with Can See Pages can rename, blank or delete a special page.

The ACARS page (Pegasus ACARS) is a special page that displays ACARS download and setup information for pilots. If it is edited or deleted by mistake, use the Restore ACARS Page header action on the list page. It deletes whatever ACARS page is there and rebuilds it from the default template, so any changes you had made to it are lost.

Rules Page

Any enabled custom page can be designated as the airline's rules page via Settings → Pilot Registration. The rules page is displayed to pilots during registration and is accessible publicly without login. Its delete button is greyed out in the list, but the one on its edit screen still works — and if the page is deleted, the rules link on your registration page stops working while pilots are still asked to agree to rules they cannot read.

List View

The custom pages list displays:

Column	Description
Title	Page name (searchable)
Category	Documents, Resources, Standalone, or Special (sortable)
Enabled	Whether the page is visible to pilots
External	Whether the page redirects to an external URL
Hidden	Whether the page is hidden from navigation
URL	The page URL slug (searchable)

Pages can be reordered by drag-and-drop. Filters are available for page status (enabled/disabled) and category (multi-select). Each row has actions to view the page in Phoenix (opens in a new tab), edit, or delete.
