The CMS at a glance

The Dashboard

After logging in you arrive at the Dashboard. There you can see at a glance what is happening on your website:

• an orange bar when changes are ready to publish;
• the number of visitors and page views over the last 7 days, new submissions and newsletter sign-ups;
• Your collections: a tile per collection (posts, events, products …) with the number of items and whether everything is online. Click the tile for the list, or Add to create something new straight away. For Photo albums it says Upload photos;
• below that the links Edit pages and Create newsletter;
• what you changed most recently, and Needs attention: for example a link that does not work or a post that will go offline soon.

Click a block to go to that section. To return to the Dashboard, click Dashboard at the top of the menu.

The menu on the left

The dark blue menu is always on the left. Depending on what your website has, you will find:

• Dashboard: the overview of your website (see above).
• Pages: the pages of your website. Click a page to edit it directly.
• Collections: tiles with your posts, products, photo albums, tags and other lists.
• Forms: the texts and recipients of the forms on your website.
• Statistics: how many visitors your website has.
• Settings: your company details (address, company registration and VAT numbers, bank details), your website settings and Email: the address your emails are sent from.
• Newsletter: sign-ups and newsletters (if your website has a newsletter).
• Data: File manager (photos and documents) and form submissions.
• Security: your website's users (administrator only).

At the bottom of the menu you will find Windkracht with the version number. If it shows the label NEW, click it: under What's new you can read in plain language what has changed in the CMS.

Top right

• The eye: view your whole website as it will be, including changes that are not online yet.
• Publish: puts your saved changes online. The button appears as soon as something is ready, with the number next to it.
• The question mark: opens this help site with the guides and frequently asked questions.
• Your name or photo: Edit profile, CMS language, Dark mode and Log out.

Buttons in a list

In every list under Collections (posts, events, products, vacancies, sponsors, reviews, downloads and the others) each item has three buttons:

• The two sheets: Duplicate. You get a copy as a draft, with KOPIE after the title, and it opens straight away. Handy for something that looks almost the same, such as the same event on another date.
• The pencil: change the item (or click the row itself).
• The bin: remove the item. It stays in the trash for 30 days.

Orange dots

An orange dot means: something has changed here that is not online yet. You see them in the menu, on tiles and next to rows in a list. After Publish they disappear.

More than one website?

If you manage more than one website, click the website name in the menu on the left and choose which website you want to work on. You can also do this at the top right via your name, under Switch website.
