Web-content authoring is the process of creating page-level content for your RiSE websites:
- Define content records that populate the content areas of your website pages, optionally using workflow and Easy Edit features to help with this task.
- Manage images used in your content.
Before you begin
You cannot perform web-content authoring tasks until the following tasks have been performed:
- Define content authority groups (CAGs). Content authority groups help control who has access to edit specific areas of content within iMIS.
- Define the content folders in which you create your content records.
- (optional) Assign content authority groups to specific content folders to enable workflow for the content records in that folder.
- (optional) Define tags and tagged list formats for use in your content records.
- (optional) Define iMIS RiSE user-defined fields for use in your content records.
Putting it all together
Web-content authoring includes the following actions, performed as needed:
- Managing content records, each of which is the source of a content area on a rendered web page. You can define these content records on an ad hoc basis as needed, or by tracking your current and available authoring work in your Page Builder Task list:
- Revise pages for your website by adding one or more content items to a content record or configuring existing content items in the content record, or both. Save the changes and then publish the content record. The changes will be live on all iMIS RiSE websites that use that content record. You might need to refresh the page in your browser to see the changes.
- If you are creating a brand new web page, you must link the content record to a navigation item in the website's sitemap to add the published content record to the website. This is typically done by the person who manages the website.
- Many content items come with iMIS RiSE, and your iMIS implementers might have added custom content items as well. To learn about content items and what they do, see Configuring content items and RiSE settings.
- Managing images for use in content records.
- Approving content records for publication or deletion by authors who do not have Content Approver permissions.
- Browsing your website to review its content and using Easy Edit to edit the underlying content records, or to log a change request for a content revision if you do not have Content Editor permissions for a given content record.
Note: Full users can perform all web-content authoring tasks. Full, Casual, and Public users can define and revise content by using Easy Edit.
