UMass Chan CMS Blog

The CMS has been upgraded

A CMS Membership Area is a web page, and any of its child pages, that is restricted to a certain User Group and requires membership account to log in.

Upgrade of EPiServer CMS for UMass Chan Medical School

Grid listing block allows editors to set a list of items in a grid and allow some control over the layout of that grid. Editors can choose to filter by page type. For now, we have limited page types with the ability to add more in future sprints. We started with Staff Page as this page has a very specific view/layout. We added generic page since this is the most commonly used page type.

View examples of all the available page types and block types that can be used in our CMS.
