## Overview

The creation wizard allows you to define the name and core behavior of your new stop page. This initial screen determines whether you will host a custom layout directly on the platform or redirect blocked traffic elsewhere.

## Configuration Options

When opening the **Create block page** module, you must complete the following fields. The required parameters will change dynamically based on the type of page you choose to create:

| **Element**           | **Description & Focus**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**              | Enter a clear identification name for your page (e.g., *School block page*). This name will be used to recognize the template within the main dashboard.                                                                                                             |
| **Type Selection**    | Choose the core behavior of your block page by selecting one of the two main options:<br /><br />• **Show block page:** Hosts a fully customizable layout directly on FlashStart's servers.<br />• **External redirect:** Forwards blocked users to an external URL. |
| **Starting template** | *(Appears only if "Show block page" is selected).* Choose an existing, previously created template from the drop-down list to duplicate its design, or select **None (start from scratch)** to open a blank canvas in the visual editor.                             |
| **URL**               | *(Appears only if "External redirect" is selected).* Enter the exact, complete web address where blocked users should be redirected (e.g., https\://blockpage.yourcompany.com).                                                                                      |

## Completion & Next Steps&#x20;

After configuring the conditional fields based on your selected type, the **Create** button will become active. Click it to proceed:

- **Show block page:** You will be transferred to the visual editor.
