Preparing for Web content creation
Before you can begin creating Web content, first create site frameworks, taxonomies, workflows and authoring templates. You must also determine the most appropriate access control, workflow control and profiling strategies for your Web content.
- Working with libraries
Before creating Web content, create a set of libraries to store IBM Workplace Web Content Management items in. You also define the role that users and groups will have when working with different item types in libraries. - Developing a profiling strategy
You use the profiling features of IBM Workplace Web Content Management to group content items into different types of content. - Developing a workflow stategy
The IBM Workplace Web Content Management application uses workflows to control the access to, verification and eventual approval of Web Content Management items. Only if an item is approved at all stages up to a published stage can it be viewed on your web site. - Developing an access control strategy
You can restrict access to selected users and groups to the views within an authoring portlet, the items managed by the authoring portlet, and to elements and pages displayed within a Web site. - Developing a simple content authoring system
Base level content authors may not create anything but content items. You can modify the authoring portlet to hide different sections of the authoring portlet from different users and groups. You can also use authoring templates to simplify the content item form itself so that content authors are only required to complete a small number of fields. - Creating Web sites for different localities
Although Web sites that automatically display content for different localities or languages are not directly supported by Web Content Management, it is possible to maintain separate libraries and sites within IBM Workplace Web Content Management for different localities.
