User assistance for content authors

Creating content items

Content items are based on authoring templates. The fields that are displayed in a content item form can be hidden from different users, so not all of the following steps might be required. Some fields and elements might already contain default data.

Procedure

To create a content item, open the applications menu and go to Content > Web Content Management, click New > Content, and then select an authoring template. The content form is opened.
  1. Content identification
    Specify identification information for the content item, including the name, title and description of the content item.
  2. Adding elements to a content item
    You add elements to content item to store Web content specific to the content item. You can only add elements to a content item if the authoring template used to create the item allows you to add elements. Otherwise, you can only work with the elements defined in the authoring template.
  3. Entering content item properties
    Specify properties for the current item, including an alternative presentation template and the list of authors and owners that are associated with the item.
  4. Content item profile settings
    Specify the profile information that is used to identify the current item, such as the categories to which the item belongs and any keywords that you want to associate with the item.
  5. Content item workflow settings
    Specify the workflow to be used by this content item.
  6. Granting content item access
    Specify the access control settings for the content item to determine which users have access to the content item and their level of access.
  7. Specifying the location of a content item
    When you first create a content item, you are required to specify the location of the item if the location is not defined in the authoring template.
