The cmsWorks editors desktop with the following components: (a) Main menu, (b) Quick launch icons, (c) Search field, (d) Open windows, (e) Workbook

The cmsWorks editors desktop functions work very similar to best known operating system desktop functions: Windows of various types can be opened and arranged at the desktop:

• The main menu (a) gives access to all window types and also shows all shortcuts.
• The quick launch icons (b) provide quick access to the most important window types used by an editor.
• The search field (c) of the task bar is always visible and accessible.
• Every open window is represented in the taskbar (d) giving access to window handling.
• The workbook access icon (e) toggles the workbook features presented as a sidebar.

And, by the way: The background picture and logo is customizable for every cmsWorks installation (by your administrator).
