Certain common views can be easily attached to any node of the Page content type (and others upon request).

How to Attach a View

  1. Edit or create the Page node to which you want to attach the view.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the editing interface and click on the "Attached View/Node" vertical tab.
  3. Select the View you want to display from the "Data View" drop down menu.
  4. If your View requires an argument, enter it in the "Data View Arguments" field.  The list of views above includes information regarding the available arguments for each view.
    • Example: The FAQ argument shows no FAQs by default.  To show any FAQs, you must enter the tag that is placed in the General Tags field on each FAQ you want to display in the Data View Arguments field.
  5. Save.  You should now see the view you want to attach.
