After you have been given access to Cascade to edit a aproteka.com website, this section covers the concepts of editing using 级联CMS. Getting familiar with how it works will hopefully help make it all easier to manage. 

Starting with introducing you to 的模板 available and the anatomy of Cascade, then you can dive into our guides for help with specific tasks like managing pages, assets and components of this content management system.  

模板

首先是 templates (or page types). 这些都是 created by the web team and they are the design and layout of your public-facing site. 这些都是 unique to aproteka.com. 


What are templates?

It is the culmination of the content/imagery with the design/development to put all the pieces of a website together. You can think of this as the 前端 or the final product presented to your website visitors.

Data Definitions

Data Definitions are a collection of fields used to create content. Users can populate these data definitions in countless combinations to achieve the desired set up and structure for a webpage. 

They are the "fill in the blanks" of a template that allows webpages to be build with consistent style, structure and navigation throughout. 

Data Definitions allow users to enter content in a series of form fields to create structured pages without the need for additional formatting. There are 15 types of input including 所见即所得 rich-text fields, 复选框, 单选按钮, multi-select and drop-down lists, and page and file choosers that reference content managed in 级联CMS.

所见即所得: Acronym for "what you see is what you get"; an open content area for text, images, media and more. 所见即所得编辑器 are common throughout our templates. 更多关于 所见即所得编辑器
