A few are essential to the functionality of Mura and cannot be disabled such as Categories and File Manager. Content Staging Simultaneously publish multiple content changes all at the same date and time with Mura's Content Staging Manager and Change Sets. Components Mura Components are most often used as content "includes" that can be created and placed on pages across your website. Categories Mura has powerful category-based functionality, enabling you to create extensive category/subcategory structures (and set up navigation based on these structures). Content Collections: Local Content Indexes One of Mura's more powerful features. Here you can easily create indexes of content from within your site, based on almost any business rule you can dream up - no code or SQL needed. 9 Content Collections: Remote Content Feeds Remote Content Feeds allow you to select and place content from external RSS feeds in your Mura site.

The first step to building a site in Mura CMS is to set up the site structure. This involves adding the pages below the home page and creating the navigational links on the site. For this step, it is always beneficial to work with a clearly defined site structure. For our example we will refer to the Sitemap found in the Sample Specifications section. Access the Site Manager The Site Manager is the primary tool for organizing and maintaining your website content. It provides several features for viewing your site structure, allowing you to easily locate content in your website. Some key tools include: 1. Content Search 2. Architectural View and Flat View 3. Drag and drop content node ordering 4. "Toggle-able" viewing of child content/nodes 5. "Quick-Edit" controls for editable items in the Site Manager grid 6. User Permissions for all content 7. Version History Click on the Site Manager button on the primary admin navigation to view the Site Manager. There will only be one page (content node) in the site structure labeled Home. All new pages will be added below the home page. 12 Architectural View The Site Manager's default view shows an Architectural View of content (e.g. pages or sections) in your site. This is merely a hierarchal view of content as it resides within the site. By default, the Site Manager displays the Home page and the first level of sub-pages. Clicking the "Arrow" icon next to a node with children will reveal the children of that node. Site Manager Archttectural VIew Title The Title shows the Navigational/Menu Title of each content node. Click the Title to edit any of the content's attributes. Objects The Objects column shows the current setting for the Content Object cascade of each node. Click on the object icon of the desired row to edit the Object Cascade Inheritance setting. Options include: • Inherit Cascade • Start New Cascade ▪ Do Not Inherit Cascade 13 Display The Display column shows the current display setting of each node.
