Component
A Component is any entity managed within the administration area of the system. Components have varied functions from faciliating the creation, management, and publshing of content to the management of system users. For ease of classification, components are divided into several different groups:
User - One who uses the content management system.
Group - One or more users with common permissions.
Role - Determines the abilities and permissions of a User or Group.
Asset Factory - Provides a quick and easy way to create a specific type of asset or specially configured page.
Configuration Set - Allows for grouping of Configurations, making them more managable.
Data Definition - Generate forms-based input fields for the creation and editing of page content, as well as to generate XML data from the input provided by a user in said input fields.
Metadata Set - Provides the interface for customizing the kinds of metadata fields that can be visible and/or associated with an asset.
Publish Set - Allow groups of publishable assets to be published on-demand or on a schedule.
Target - Represents a site or subsite and specifies the format in which content should be published (XHTML, XML, etc). A target acts as the glue that binds content to its destination(s).
Destination - Links a target to a transport, specifies encoding (UTF-8 or ASCII), and allows for publishing content on a schedule.
Transport - Stores data concerning how published content is pushed out to the final publish location.
Workflow - A grouping of approval steps that ensure that content entered into the system is quality checked.
