Page | 1 Ektron CMS400 v8 – Content Editor Reference Ektron CMS400 is the content management system Northeast State Community College uses to maintain its public website, beta.northeaststate.edu. Content editing of the website is widely decentralized, to encourage individual departments to keep their own areas of the site current and updated. If you’ve been given access to edit a content area, this is a short guide to the basic functions you’ll need to know.

Note that this version of the CMS is not browser dependent—as long as you are running a fairly current version of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome, the CMS editor should work fine. If you’ve got an older, outdated browser version, you may get an error and need to update it before editing in the CMS. LOGGING IN To log in to the CMS system from anywhere there is an internet connection, go to http://beta.northeaststate.edu/admlgn.aspx and click on the button or click the copyright icon at the bottom of the page just like we did in the old Firelogix system.

You should be forwarded to the main page you are responsible for editing. If not please send me an email and let me know. Edit Existing Content The most common thing you will want to do in the CMS is make changes to content that’s already on the website.
