2Folder, documents and content

Content in cmsWorks is stored in documents. Documents in cmsWorks have different fields called "properties" of specialized types, i.e. "text", "dates", "integers" or so called "floating texts" (text with markup like 'bold' or 'italic' etc.).

Documents are organized in a folder's hierarchy (similar i.e. to a file system). The structure of folders and document names will then define the URL structure for contents on the website.

The following chapters will explain the handling of the cmsWorks cmsExplorer, including the folder structures and the document windows.

cmsWorks cmsExplorer

This chapter shows how content within cmsWorks is created, changed, found or deleted. The contents are typed into documents (which are stored in a folder structure). The cmsExplorer is the basic tool to navigate and manage your content.

Inserting content into documents

To insert content into a "document" you simply have to open a document window: All available actions with a document are explained in this chapter.

Input field types

A document basically is a collection of fields defining that document (type). In that chapter the handling and specialties of every input field type is introduced.

Links to other documents

Documents mostly have links to other documents. Reasons, possibilities and effects are explained within this chapter.

The publication

Once you created the content it has to be published so that an online generator can use the content online. Effects and conditions for a successful publication shows this chapter.
