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. Let’s go through the process of creating new content.
- Click on the New button on the top navigation menu to display the different types of assets you are allowed to create.
- Click on the type of page you would like to create. For our page, we chose New->Intranet->Press Release.
- You’ll 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 in “My First Press Release.”
- For Title, type in “A New Press Release in the CMS.”
- For Summary, type in “The press release summary content goes here.”
- Now, scroll down to the bottom and click the Submit button at the bottom to record your changes.
- You should now see the new page in your web browser.
Notice that the content from the word processor appears in the main region in a specific layout independent of the content you entered. Creating a new web page in the CMS saves you time as the content is automatically formatted for you and related hyperlinks to the page are created as well.
Conclusion
Now that you’ve learned the basics, you’re ready to start working in your new CMS. As you’ve seen, Cascade Server is really not too different from basic web-based email systems and standard word processing software.
As you become more advanced with the software, you’ll find even more time saving features and effective ways to empower your content.
