Overview

The editorial control panel (ECP) tool allows users to manage the content of the site. Using the ECP tool site editors create home pages to expose as the site home page or as section home pages.

There are three key concepts of the ECP system:

1. Templates are built-in, pre-designed layouts that define the arrangement of visual elements on the page, but do not offer specifics, such as individual story placement.
2. Storyboards define the specific story position and selection for a specific template. The system tracks an unlimited number of storyboards and each storyboard is based on one template.
3. Storyboards are made up of customizable box types that allow the user to customize content. The placement and arrangement of these boxes is saved to the template, but the specific content and customization of the boxes are tied to storyboards.
