Supported Browser Information

The purpose of the Web CMS is to:

  • allow non-technical users to easily update website content
  • allow users to update content online from any computer with an internet connection
  • provide global non-editable areas in templates (such as headers and footers) that remain consistent as new pages are added throughout the website
  • organize images and files (e.g. pdf documents) in a CMS Asset Manager(s) 
  • archive and version old pages for easy restoration 
  • allow administrator to establish workflow production, person A can edit, then send to person B to approve and publish
  • allow administrator to set permissions so that editors can only update their section's content
