A Tour of the OpenCms Workplace
The Workplace is the centre of OpenCms. Editors will use the Workplace to author their documents. Project managers will use it to create workflows, structure the site, and control publication of material. The vast majority of technical administration is done through the Workplace as well, and the system administrator will use the Workplace to manage the caches, check logs, and install new modules. All of these tasks are incorporated into one web-based interface.
