Legacy Content Delivery landing page
The Legacy Content Delivery landing page appears when you go to Home or log in to Legacy Content Delivery . From this page, you can manage your Legacy Content Delivery experience.
Overview
The Legacy Content Delivery landing page gives you a broad view of viewed and edited topics, access to tools used to administer Legacy Content Delivery (Comments, Manage Publications, Manage Application, and Developer's Workbench), one-click access to visible publications, to the Comment Stream, User Preferences, and Search.
The Legacy Content Delivery landing page consists of a header and three columns (left, middle, right) in the default layout.
Header
The header is comprised of two rows that span the top of the Legacy Content Delivery landing page. User Preferences and cloud-based online Help are located in the top row of the header on the right.
- User Preferences lets you choose one of the available languages for the user interface (such as English, German, or Japanese). You can also upload your profile photo, which is used to complement your credentials, contributions, and comments.
- (?) Help lets you access the latest Legacy Content Delivery online help from the cloud.
Located in the bottom row of the header at the right are Search and Advanced Search.
- Search provides a Google-style search type-in field. Once you enter a basic search, search results are returned in groups of 10 per page. At the bottom right of each search results page, you can use the Can't find what you are looking for? Advanced Search link to refine your query.
- When you use the Advanced Search button (located to the right of the Search type-in field), a window appears where you can specify filtering criteria to fine-tune your search query.
- If you are using ISHSTS, the search results will contain only accessible content: the content that your usergroup can access.
Left Column
The left column is comprised of the My Recent Topics and Administration Tools panes. The latter provides access to pages beyond the Legacy Content Delivery landing page.
- My Recent Topics keeps you informed of the last 10 topics that you have viewed or edited. If you have not enabled Editing, it shows only recently viewed topics. You can follow a link to summon the topic.
- Administration Tools lets you access pages other than the landing page. Pages are labeled with buttons that represent their function. The pages available to you are governed by licensing and permissions.
Select Home in the breadcrumb trail to return to the Legacy Content Delivery landing page.
- Comments is used to access the comment table (tabular view) containing comments to accessible content (if you are using ISHSTS).
- Manage Publications is used to add, remove, or hide publications (including language versions) and other configuration items.
- Manage Application provides system status information, an installation and upgrade log; global and custom configuration settings; distribution and packaging profiles and an event log; user and group authentication; search index and search categories; a sitemap; configuration options for XQuery functions and XSL styles; and a suite of tests that you can run if you need to troubleshoot your installation.
- Developer's Workbench is used to create or modify forms and skins.
Middle Column
The middle column contains the Resources pane, which contains Visible Publications and accessible publications.
- Visible Publications
- Use the Options button to Show All publications or only Show Visible publications. Publication visibility is controlled from the Manage Publications page.
- Accessible publications
- When using Tridion Docs with ISHSTS users only see the content they are allowed to, depending on the rights granted to the usergroup they belong to. This applies to topics, maps or entire publications. It extends to the comments and search results related to this content. The usergroup of each user is set in Content Manager.
The middle column also contains the Sort By drop-down list, from which you can select a sort category to order the list of publications, in either ascending or descending order. The sort category contains entries for each of the column headings in the list of publications. The default sort order is by Name. The sort order that you apply remains in effect during the current and all following sessions in the given browser for the given user.
The Find in list type-in field lets you enter the term to filter by in the publication list. The list of publications shown is reduced to those that match the characters you enter. As you enter characters, the publication list begins to filter, starting with the first non-space character you enter. What you enter in the Find in list is not case sensitive, and responds to an exact match of what you enter. The Find in list filter honors settings that you make in the Sort By drop-down list.
For each publication, columns include Name, Product, Version, Language, Modified (published from Content Manager or Edited from Collaborative Review), and the Review end date as specified in the Content Manager web client).Right Column
The right column contains the Comment Stream, which includes the reviewer's name and photograph, and the last 10 comments or replies made by any user, in any topic, in any publication on your server. You can select a comment to summon the appropriate topic.
