Administration/Home
From Lanius CMS Wiki
After a successful login you will enter the Administration home page; you can use menus and start page links to begin performing common tasks immediately. You can always return to this page by selecting Home from the main menu.
Menubar
The Menubar is divided into eight sections: System, Menu, Content, Components, Packages, Information, Frontend, Help. Each section has an associated drop down menu. The menu bar is your navigation center within the Admin Section.
As can be seen, by default, the structure of the administrative backend is made up of the following parts:
- Parent site/subsite logo.
- Remote status picture showing the information about both: your current installed version and the latest released Lanius CMS version; clicking on this image leads to the page of the automatic update wizard.
- Logout link.
- Menu toolbar with all features of the administration backend available (availability of components depends on the group to which the logged user belongs, the administrator has unlimited access to all features). Help, Frontend and Home buttons are accessible to all users.
- Component area
- Page footer
Workspace
The Workspace is the area immediately below the Menubar and Toolbar that displays the controls for the menu item currently selected. The workspace updates when you make a menu selection or use a tool from the toolbar. The default setting is to the Control Panel.
