The design of FCS platforms greatly differs from common software products. Therefore, it is essential to understand the basic design of the system.
Services
|
Each FCS platform disposes of an individually selected choice of so-called "Content Services". Upon request, services can be activated and deactivated later on.
Basically, services allow you to publish different types of content (e.g. a text, a file, a picture). Subsequently, each service allows for a distinctive presentation of content types. As a result, a normal text looks different from a picture.
|
Facts
|
Each content item is referred to as a "fact".
|
Filings
|
All facts of a particular service are saved in separate repositories called "service filings". The repositories can be accessed via the main menu or the service box in the options area.
|
Structure
|
The service "Structure" consists of folders which can be organised hierarchically. Folders can be used to order facts thematically.
|
Shortcuts
|
Folders always contain shortcuts. Basically, a shortcut is a link to an original fact which is stored in the respective service filing. Subsequently, it is possible to assign one fact to several different folders.
