16.1 About Site Studio Manager

Site Studio Manager is a web-based application that can be used to modify the site hierarchy and make changes to each section. The users site managers use it to add and remove sections, assign page templates, change site properties, and more. Manager is similar to Contributor in that the user opens the application directly from the site and starts making changes. It is added to the site differently than Contributor. There are no contribution regions; the designer simply adds the Site Studio Manager fragment from the Toolbox. To customize the appearance of Manager, you modify the fragment. To customize the functionality of Manager, you edit the manager configuration settings file see Customizing Manager Configuration Settings on page 16-5.

16.2 Choosing Where and When to Display Manager

Choosing where and when to display Manager on the site is an important decision because it affects how site managers use the site. Unlike Contributor, there is no Note: For more information about using Site Studio Manager, see the Administrator and Managers Guide for Site Studio. 16-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Site Studio Designer immediate relationship with the content using a contribution icon. Instead, Manager is used to change settings that affect the entire page or site like assigning page templates and changing section properties. As such, you want to create a logical location for Manager and choose the appropriate time to display it always on or only display in contribution mode. There are three places where Manager can display: ■ From every page on the site : You can add Manager to every page on the site to give users a sense they are modifying the section or page they are viewing. ■ From a designated section : You can add Manager to a designated section of the site where users go to manage everything. This may give users the sense they are managing the site from a central location. ■ From the Site Studio Administration page : Manager is always accessible from the Manage Web Sites page on the content server. Any customizations you make to Manager do not affect this page. If you add Manager to a section, you probably want to make that section viewable only in Contributor. You might also spend time designing a page template specifically for Manager.
