An index page is a page with a list of links to other pages. As you use the workspace and recognize grouping of pages, creating provides navigation for yourself and others in the space.

An example Index Page is Best Practices.

One of the best Gardening practices.

Sample groupings

• Departments, Teams or Projects (such as Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Operations...)
• Items of the same category (such as Design Documents, Deals Closed, Key Initiatives ...)
• (add yours here)

(At the risk of asking the obvious: do index pages have to be generate by hand, or is there any more automatic way to scoop things together? - Gil)

Future feature asl

Yes, I am also looking for a way to dynamically generate index pages based on categories or other criteria. Is there a way to do this in SocialText?

Phil, yes. See Tutorial: Including other pages and lists into a page

Another way to create an index page is to use tags (categories). Think of either functional tags (tutorial, glossary, algorithm) or location tag (section1, section2) and tag each page of a wiki. Then use the {search: category:tagname} in your index page to create list of pages containing those tags.

e.g.

{search: category:tutorial}
{search: category:algorithm}
{search: category:glossary}
