This release brings significant progress towards easier website upgrades.
Websites reorganized for ease of
upgrade:
Many changes are underway
to make it easier and safer for your organization to upgrade your websites and
content. In this release, we restructured Manage
websites to organize websites into folders that make clear their usage:
Core Sites holds essential iMIS applications (such
as iMIS Desktop View); be prepared to recreate
any customizations you introduce there. Sample
Sites holds the growing set of iPart-based sites (Member, Member Mobile);
refer to it for comparison, but make no changes. Manage your own sites outside
of these folders so that you can change, copy, and implement, safe from
overwriting by upgrades.
Core content protected for ease of
upgrade:
Related to this change,
the content folder structure now separates core content and sample website
content that ships with iMIS from your
website-specific content. Core Content is read-only. For more information on all
aspects of site upgrades, see Upgrading Existing Websites.
Saving or copying 'protected'
content records
A new Save As option has been added when editing 'protected'
system content records so that a new copy of the content is created upon saving.
This prevents your user modifications from being overwritten during subsequent
upgrades.
Improved copy
website
When you copy a website, you can now rename the website, which
also renames the sitemap. A new Website-specific
parent content folder also allows you to specify the content folder that
contains the website content. Copy website will copy the content within
parent folder and within the folder containing the template content.
Member site redirector page easier
to maintain:
iMIS now has a
simplified redirector page for the Member sample
site to determine which profile pages users have access. The redirector page now
uses Shortcuts instead of Navigation Items to resolve which page to display, so
that sitemaps are easier for you to maintain.
