How to use Involv page properties
Page properties in Involv allow you to add structured metadata to pages — such as department, job title, date of publication, or event start date — which can be used for filtering, layout automation, search results, and personalized content delivery.
💡 What Are Page Properties?
Involv Page Properties are used to:
-
Enrich pages with metadata.
-
Dynamically group or filter content (e.g. by category, date, or department).
-
Surface information in sliders, events, news, and personalized components.
These properties are mapped to SharePoint fields or refinable fields (e.g., RefinableDate00
, ows_InvolvDepartment
, etc.).

) as long as they're indexed.
