Creating a Page
Creating a New Page
In addition to editing an existing page, you also have the ability to create new pages and upload documents and images on your own. To create a new page, you will use an Asset Factory. As previously mentioned, asset factories provide an easy way to create a specific type of asset or specially configured page. The asset factory is made available by clicking on New in the top navigation menu. Default asset factory elements included in Cascade Server are Block, External Link, File, Folder, Format, Page, and Template. Your user access rights determine which asset factory elements are available to you, and your administrator determines your access rights. Let’s go through the process of creating new content.
1. Click on the New button on the top navigation menu to display the different types of assets you are allowed to create.
2. Click on the type of page you would like to create. For our page, we chose New->Press Release.
3. Notice that this type of page has a series of fields instead of a large word processor. Some types of content are more structured whereas others are less structured. For Display Name, type “My First Press Release”.
4. For Title, type “A New Press Release in the CMS”. For Summary, type “The press release summary content goes here.”
5. For Start Date, select today's date.
6. Modify any other options as you would like.
7. Scroll down to the bottom and click the Submit button to send this page through a workflow.
