PCR Prerequisites

Use page creation rules (PCRs) to define the page schema, default stylesheet, and worlflow for new pages.

The following sections outline the tasks that Ingeniux CMS administrators need to complete before users work with PCRs.

Creating Pages with PCRs

Users can use PCRs to create new pages.

To create pages via PCRs require the following configurations:

  • The appropriate schema. The PCR uses the schema to create the page.
  • User group access. Each PCR provides access to individual user groups.
  • The associated parent pages. Users can only apply PCRs under associated parent pages.
Note
To automatically enter the new content item into a workflow, associate the appropriate workflow with the PCR. See Workflows Designer for details.

See Creating PCRs for details.

Setting Page Creation Rules Manager Permissions

Only administrators have access to the Page Creation Rules Manager. Administrators can add users to the CMS default Administrators group or create a new group with administrator permissions selected. No one can modify the permissions in the default Administrators group.

See Creating Groups for details to set permissions for users and groups. To grant administrator permissions to a user group, select the following permission:

  • Allowed to have system administrator privileges & change all system settingsEnables group members to modify and configure all site-specific settings such as adding users, user groups, creating workflows, etc. This permission item is in the Miscellaneous block.
    Note
    Selecting this permission enables all CMS permissions. To limit individual permissions, clear this checkbox.

Setting Page Creation via PCR Permissions

Users with permissions can use PCRs to create pages in the Site Tree.

Important
The CMS requires administrators to select which individual groups have access to each PCR. See Creating PCRs for details.

See Creating Groups for details to set permissions for users and groups. To grant PCR usage permissions to a user group, select the following permissions:
