SITEFINITY • On Sitefinity, there is a distinction between two types of content: Static content - Pages (standard pages, e. g. About us, markets, Solutions, newsroom etc. ) Dynamic content - Content, also referred to as “Sopra Steria Contents” (news, events, success stories, white papers etc. ) using specific widgets. • Dynamic and static content must be uploaded from the back-office. • Only the modification of static data can be realised from the front-office.

WHAT ARE STANDARD PAGES? On Sitefinity, pages are composed of a menu and the associated pages The pages can then be made up of lists, texts, images, forms etc. Pages can be organised by means of drag & drop or on the basis of their properties, which are accessible while editing the page.

STANDARD PAGES To create a standard page, you need to define an image for

STANDARD PAGES To create a standard page, you need to define an image for the top banner, before you create the page. The creation of a page then requires several parameters: The name of the page (name that will appear in the navigation bar), Its position within the navigation bar (main/secondary), Whether this page should appear in the navigation bar, Whether it is only used to group together several pages, Whether this page should redirect to another page (web page or an external page on the site) The title to appear in the browser address bar, as well as in search engines (by default, this field matches the name of the page), The page template to be used if you want to add content to it. A box for ‘Description’ and ‘ ’Keywords’ - important for SEO Various advanced options

STANDARD PAGES (2) Here we can see the box for editing core content using

STANDARD PAGES (2) Here we can see the box for editing core content using the "Content block" widget. Upon opening, an html editor is provided, enabling you to enter content and to format it using the button bar. As with most CMS’s it is best to copy and paste in to notepad before going copying to Sitefinity. Once the text has been entered, click on the "Save" button. While the page is still yet to be published, this remains invisible to the eyes of the users.

PREVIEWING AND PUBLISHING STANDARD PAGES Once you have finished entering your text, use the

PREVIEWING AND PUBLISHING STANDARD PAGES Once you have finished entering your text, use the "Preview" button at the top of the page to display the page inside the site, as it will appear to a standard Internet user. To validate the changes, click on the "Publish" button. This will activate the menu in the navigation bar and will make this page accessible to all Internet users. It is also possible to time delay your updates or page

USING THE FRONT OFFICE In order to be able to make changes directly in the pages of the site, you will have to connect to the platform beforehand. Once connected, a small "Tools" box will appear on the right-hand side of your site. By clicking on it, a second box will offer you the choice to either: • display the editing tools (for the purpose of making changes directly on the site), • modify the page in back-office. • deconnect

MANAGEMENT OF CONTENT FRONT OFFICE By selecting the first option, the page will refresh

MANAGEMENT OF CONTENT FRONT OFFICE By selecting the first option, the page will refresh and the editable content will change in to yellow. By selecting the first option, the page will reload, now featuring various "Edit" buttons, which thus enable you to edit the content. It is possible to save as draft or publish your content direct. Click on ‘quit editing’ to return to the live page.

WHAT IS DYNAMIC CONTENT? Events, PRs, publications, success stories, 3 minute guides videos etc – all the content you would see in your newsroom Dynamic content is created using Sopra Steria widgets. That have defined settings built in. The editing of Sopra Steria Contents is relatively simple - all you have to do is fill in the pre-set fields: Title, Sub-title, Abstract, Text, Image, Associated document, Type of content, Homepage etc. In order to view the content in the page, click on the "Save as draft" button. From this list, click on the created content and then click on the "Preview" button. If the result is satisfactory, validate the content by clicking on "Publish".

PREPARING YOUR DYNAMIC CONTENT Loading and publishing dynamic content on sitefinity is done in

PREPARING YOUR DYNAMIC CONTENT Loading and publishing dynamic content on sitefinity is done in a different way to other CMS’s eg typo 3. On Typo 3 a publications, for example, can be loaded direct to the relevant page, or to a central media library then linked to. On Sitefinity, all dynamic content needs to be loaded centrally in the ‘contents/sopra stera contents’ area first. Then linked to from relevant pages. You therefore have to prepare your content and load it centrally with relevant key tags, images etc, and using the relevant list templates.
