How are images handled in Cascade Server?
Images are treated like any other asset, and are stored as such. They can be placed in a default image repository, or they can be stored with other relevant content, at the discretion of the administrator. The system provides for custom workflows, access rights, and image manipulation tools.
Uploading an image is done through the asset factory, using the same method used for creating other content items. This method also ensures that the appropriate metadata is included with the image, making it search engine friendly, and 508 compliant for persons with disabilities.
WCMS-managed images can be inserted into a page via the WYSIWYG editor by clicking on the Insert Image icon. In addition, users with the appropriate access rights may upload images directly via the WYSIWYG editor.
