Displaying the Document Type Properties

You might have noticed that the content we've added to the homepage is not being displayed. We need to wire up the Data Type properties to the template.

Let’s look at our template and identify where the content should be displayed.

The top arrow in this image is the Page Title and the bottom arrow is the Body Text. The Footer is all the way at the bottom of the page.
