Finding your content
There are two ways to find your content inside Cascade CMS. You can:
- Use the site content tree and window.
- Use your internal site navigation.
The Site Content tree
The Site Content tree organizes your content into folders representing similar topics. Your attention to organization here affects three things:
- Your ability to find content while you work on your site.
- The ability of search engines to find information that matches search terms.
- Your site visitors' ability to find information since Cascade will be building your site out of the folders and their names.
Once expanded, you can click on folder icons to get a quick preview of content within the folder without having to actually move into the folder. You can also right click on items in the Site Content tree to access a quick menu of options for that item. And if you want to access specific folder content, click on the > mark next to the folder.
Extra Information
Basic content icons
Most of the icons you will encounter in the content tree will be familiar to you, but there are a few that may seem new:
Page: A single web page in your site. | |
Block: These contain chunks of information. Some affect the way your site will function, so NEVER touch the one labelled "navigation." However, you will sometimes encounter and use both "shared content blocks" and "setup blocks." We will discuss these where appropriate | |
File: A file such as a .pdf or Word document |
|
External Link: A link to a document or page on a different site. | |
Reference: An asset that represents a link to another asset within your site. |
|
Folder: A directory holding files. |
