Episerver CMS Filtered Blog Posts Block

The Taxonomy Search Block allows you to create a list of items that have been tagged with taxonomy categories. This block will list faculty, labs, blogs and UMassMedNow news articles.

The Hero video block allows a video to be used as a hero on the web page. This block also allows for a dropdown list of links to be centered over the video.

Setting a retention policy on your forms allows you to control how long form submissions are stored in the CMS. The retention policy is set per form allowing you to have different retention policies. Retention policies can be set separately for finalized form submissions and for partially submitted form data.

A Generic Block is the most basic and versitile block. It allows for content to be positioned anywhere on your page (any drop block area) and can be re-used on as many pages as you wish. Blocks can be shared with other sites as well.
