Creating your first NEW Document |
|
Welcome to the second of a series of tutorials designed to get you using the CuppaWEB v2 Dashboard (called "Dashboard" from now on). If you have read the first tutorial in this series you should already be familiar with the Dashboard, so we will not go over that again. If you have skipped the first installment, use the following link: The first steps in CuppaWEB v2 Dashboard Assumptions and Terminology Assuming that you logged in as a user with permissions to create new pages (if not, contact your administrator and have him/her give you permission to do so), lets clear up some terminology. This tutorial is about creating a new "page", which is composed of a "document" (a broad term for viewable files within the CuppaWEB system, encompassing everything from pictures to PDF documents, static HTML pages and "pages". A page is simply CuppaWEB's internal document format, which the Dashboard displays, giving users the ability to edit in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) format. Creating a Page

Page Title and Cache option
In the first pane of the "New Page Wizard" you are asked to provide a Page Title (the title of the page that will appear at the top of the user's browser window) and the Page Cache (tells the system that the page you are creating should be cached by the system for faster loading times). Note: Be careful with this, if the page has dynamic content, then a page should not be cached)When you have entered these two details click on "Next" at the bottom. |

Page file name and location
In the second pane you are required to enter a Page Name and to select a destination folder where the new Page will be created. Do not confuse the "Page Name" with the "Page Title". The "Page Name" is the physical file name which will appear in the document's view. When you have completed these two tasks, click on "Next". Remember, you can click on "Back" at any time to review what you have entered or click on the orange pane headings at the top to go directly to a specific pane. |
