Content Management
|
|
|
|
CMS automatically detect "flat" and "hierarchical" document types. If document type is hierarchical, it is displayed
with a "tree" control in CMS, making possible easy navigation within hierarchy using " + " and " - " icons like in Windows
Explorer. It is even possible to drag-and-drop tree leaves between branches. This helps to arrange nested sections of a
website for example.
Common data management screen is divided by two frames: Navigation Panel which allow to search and select documents
and Document Browser which displays the content of selected document and allows to be switched to Edit, Security settings
or Audit mode.
Document types with large amount of items are easily navigable using filters. Each document property could be set as
a filter. Filters appear in Navigation Panel along with sorting controls and help you to search documents in huge database
tables very convenient.

While editing each document, CMS shows all fields in appropriate-type form controls. For example, dates shown with
pop-up calendar, HTML texts with HTML-editor. All fields pass the validation upon submit. Any changes of all the data are
stored to special "backup" tables that makes possible multiple UNDO/REDO levels.

Change Security, Insert Child records and View Audit Trails for any CMS user or set of users called CMS Role. There are 3 base
