Optional Site Features


Content Stack

This feature displays your current location on the site and identifies the page path taken to get to that location. If configured to use links, you can click on a name to change to an earlier page in the path.


New and Updated Status

This feature allows you to mark new and updated items by entering a value for how many days you wish for a new or updated graphic to be displayed next to the current item.

How do I use "New and Updated" to mark created or edited content for a period of time?

Alternate Content Wrappers

This feature allows you to present your content in different visual formats - providing you with increased content flexibility.

How do I choose an alternate content wrapper?
Select an Override Template in the Other section of the content editing window. If none are available, contact your Site Administrator for assistance.

Menu Subheadings

This feature allows you to create menu subheadings that collapse and expand by clicking on the major heading.

How do I configure menu subheadings?
Select a nonzero Heading Level to choose the subheading position for a menu item. If this doesn't seem to work, the menu has not been configured to use subheadings. Contact your Site Administrator for assistance.

Language Support

Sites can be configured to support a 'French Version', with alternative variables and content. French support is partial at this time; updates to more complete support, and support of other languages, is being evaluated.

How do I edit the French content for my site?
Both the Title and Body components have English and French editing fields, allowing you to easily edit and translate corresponding content in both languages.
Do the CIM services include translation services between English, French, and other languages?
