# PlatformPage

one kind of page of a platform: what it yields, how it is read, the lists it carries, whether it pages through a next link, and what the viewer must be to see it

[figure: PlatformPage is a value at none scope. The drawing shows its fields and the objects that they point at.]

## Fields


| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | `text` | yes |  |
| `address_patterns` | `[text]` | yes |  |
| `deny_patterns` | `[text]` | no | the addresses under this page's patterns that are not this kind of page (an edit form, a details page, an overlay), which the page's template scope denies |
| `yields` | `text` | yes | a thing of the domain |
| `render` | `one of static \| auto \| rendered` | yes |  |
| `fields` | [FieldSpec](/concepts/fieldspec) | yes |  |
| `lists` | [PlatformList](/concepts/platformlist) | yes |  |
| `paged` | `bool` | yes |  |
| `scrolls` | `text` | no | the list the reader scrolls before it reads, until nothing new appears; absent when the page shows everything at once |
| `needs` | `one of anyone \| signed in \| connected \| member \| admin \| premium \| licensed` | yes | what the viewer must be to see the page as described; a page shows less to a viewer below it, and the capture records what it saw |
