A CMS, or Content Management System, is a piece of software used to effectively organize and manage large amounts of digital content. Content, in reference to the university's CMS, includes all web pages, documents, and other files made available via the university website.
The CMS makes it possible for almost anyone (with appropriate permissions) to easily manage web content, without needing to know how to write HTML (hyper-text-mark-up language, the typical method for creating web pages). By using a CMS the university will also have an easy to implement
version control.
The CMS Web Guide contains detailed instructions on how to use many aspects of the CMS system. It is available online at
http://www.umflint.edu/webguide/. If you have questions not covered by the Web Guide, please contact Debi Rowden or Tim Todd at 810-762-3123.
