Folder hierarchies and content within Content Management undergo frequent changes. Content is constantly being created, updated, published, relocated, and deleted. Content Management reflects these changes as they occur.

The Browse Folder or Browse Publications menu items are used to start browsing at the top of each content management hierarchy. From there, depending on the feature being browsed, the Browse Managed Content, Browse Categorized Content, Browse News Publication, or Browse Publication Sections page is used to continue browsing through the content hierarchy.

The following rules apply to all Content Management features:

  • A portal name of the child folder must match the portal name of the parent folder.

  • A feature type of the child folder must match the feature type of the parent folder.

  • A folder can have only one parent.

  • A folder with itself as the parent is a Top Folder.

  • Content can have multiple parent folders.

  • Content has a single origin feature type.

  • Managed Content folders can contain only Managed Content type content.

  • All non-Managed Content folders can contain only their own feature type content or Managed Content type content.

  • Content originating from a feature type that is different from the one it is being accessed from can only be viewed unless it has been shared to the Managed Content type.

Use the Browse Content page (EPPCM_HIERTOP_MAIN) to add a top-level folder if you are a top administrator for this feature or, starting at the top level folders, drill down through folder hierarchies for content that is accessible by that feature.

Example of the Browse Publication Sections page

Sublevel Browse Managed Content and Browse Categorized Content pages display basic information about the folders and the content within a folder. Within a top folder or a subfolder, you can add a subfolder, add content, or navigate deeper into the folder hierarchy. Beneath the root folder (Top), locator links enable you to traverse back up the folder hierarchy. A description of the content appears below the locator links. This description can include HTML that is entered in the summary on the Folder Properties page.

This page provides drill-down access to subfolders as well as a navigation path to return to the top level. Depending on member privileges for the folder, you can add, edit, delete, or view subfolders and content.

Note: Managed Content and Categorized Content hierarchies may contain many subfolder levels.

Depending on the feature, Content Management enables you to add different types of content, such as file attachments, web URLs, text, HTML, and image attachments. Based on the type of content that you select, you have a choice of format; for instance, the format for a file attachment can be Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. The image to the left of the title identifies the format that is used for each content item.
