Introduction

In this article, we’ll take a look at the common tabs for Text, File, and Url documents in the Page Info.

Title Tab

What can you do using this tab:

  • Enable/disable the language for the document.
  • Specify alias for each language separately or use one alias for all languages by enabling the Use default language alias for all languages checkbox. Besides, you can use the document id as an alias.
  • Specify the title on the page for each language separately.
  • Specify the title in the menu for each language separately.
  • Choose how to open a document from a menu (in new window, in same frame, etc).
  • Select the behavior when the user tries to enter the page using the disabled language (do not show the page, show the page with the default language).

Life Cycle Tab

This tab allows you to manage the confirmation status and publish status of the document.

A document can have one of 3 confirmation statuses:

  • New - in the process of editing.
  • Approved - is ready to use.
  • Disabled - cannot be accessed.

Also, a document can have one of 6 publication statuses:

  • Published - confirmation status is Approved and Published date in the past or empty. The document is available.
  • Waiting - confirmation status is Approved and Published date in the future. The document is not available until the specified date.
  • In process - confirmation status is New. The document is not available.
  • Archived - confirmation status is Approved and Archived date in the future. The document is not available, but hidden in the menu.
  • Passed - confirmation status is Approved and Publication end date in the past. The document is not available.
  • Disapproved - confirmation status is Disabled. The document is not available.

Note

A regular user only sees documents with a publication status of Published!

Usage example

Task: hide the published document until tomorrow.

Solution: set Publication end for the current time and Published for tomorrow.

Categories Tab

Since ImCMS provides categories (more here), a document can have categories. This can be used for flagging, classification or for certain features that a developer may have added to the code.
