Working with Collections
Working with Collections
A collection provides a list of content blocks that can be placed on a Web page to offer readers links to them. In the following illustration, the circled content is an example of a collection on a Web page.
You can also use a collection to display other listings, such as job postings, press releases, and knowledge base articles. The following graphic illustrates the use of a collection on the landing page of Ektron's Knowledge Base.
This section explains how to create collections. Your system administrator would then modify content blocks to display the collections on your Web site using the ecmCollection function or server control.
NoteYour system administrator must assign to you permission to work with collections. For details, see the Collections chapter of the Ektron CMS400.NET Administrator Manual.
