Core Modules Documentation

When an Item is opened for viewing or editing, an action bar is presented for easy access to perform the main tasks associated with an Item. Depending on permission level and other statuses, the actions may differ user to user and Item to Item.

Save & Save as New – If visible, “Save” will save the current draft. “Save as New” will save the values as an incremental new draft.

Publish – Only visible if the Item checked out by the current user. If the current user has “Edit” permission on the Item, then prior to publishing, the Item will be saved automatically.

Check In – Only visible if the current user has the Item Checked Out. Checking in an Item allows another user to Check Out.

Check Out – Only visible if no other user has the Item checked out. Checking out an Item allows the current user to delete and publish any drafts.

Edit Drafts – Only visible if the current user does not have the Item checked out. Clicking this allows the user to continue editing their drafts even though they will not be able to publish them.

Delete Draft – Deletes the current draft. If the resulting delete leaves no other drafts, then the delete is not allowed.

Delete Item – Only visible if the current user has the Item checked out. Deleting the Item will delete all related data and will also delete all Draft Items based on this Item and across all users.

Properties – Opens a popup of editable properties for the current Item. Changes made here reflect immediately to the Item and not the current Draft Item.

Includes – Opens a popup that allows user defined script and style snippets and references that is included in the rendering of an Item. Item Includes are stored on Item Drafts and will not take effect until the Draft Item is published.

History – Opens a popup that displays versions of the current Item. If versioning is enabled on an Item then on every publish of the Item, the old Item’s values are stored as a snapshot. You can view each snapshot and choose to restore the Item using the snapshot’s values. When restoring from a snapshot, then a new draft is created for the current user and is automatically published. Restoring is only permitted for the user who has the Item checked out.

Security – Management of Item’s security policies. Only visible if the current user is allowed to manage the Item’s security.

Options – Opens a popup or additional settings that affect the behavior of an Item. Changes made here reflect immediately to the Item and not the current Draft Item.

• Url – Only visible on Page items. A URL alias is the address suffix to the domain name that the Page item can be accessed by. A value of “/” specifies the home page. All other URL aliases must begin with “/”. A URL alias can only be used once.
  
  URL alias wildcards can be used by using the * character for the last segment. For example, a wildcard alias of “/gallery/interior/*” will allow the Page Item to respond to “/gallery/interior/kitchen” and “/gallery/interior/living-room”.

• Layout Template – Only visible on Page items. Specifies the layout Template that the current Page Item is based off of. Take caution when changing Templates as data loss could occur.
• Active – When checked, the item will be rendered on the website. If not checked (inactive), then if the requested item is a Page, then the user will be redirected to the configured page not found resource. For all other module types, the framework will not render the Item.
• Versioning – When checked, the CMS framework will store snapshots of each Item during the publish process.
• Allow Web Edit Options -  When checked, then the item will be allowed to display edit options when an authenticated CMS user is browsing the website and has set their preferences to show web edit options.
• Caching – The amount of time (in minutes) that the Item’s rendered output is cached by the framework and used for requests. After the cache exceeds the expiration time, the subsequent request will be processed normally by the module and its output is once again cached until the next expiration. Learn more about Caching.
• Search Index - Only available on Page items.
  • Include in site search index - If enabled, then the page at the URL will be indexed to be available in the site search.
  • Boost - A decimal value to be used to increase the weight of the page should the page be returned in a search query where it's weight is identical to another page.
  • Additional search terms - Additional terms that are searched against but are not rendered on the page.
• Response Headers – Only available on Page items. Allows custom response headers to be sent to the requestor of the Page item. Response headers specified here, will override any existing global response headers configured in the site settings. Learn more about Global Response Headers. These content headers are system generated and cannot be modified: “date”, “content-length”, “content-encoding” and “server”.
