For COSIMA Users 

Getting Started with COSIMA

"We want to get started quickly with the new system - but how?"

tecteam provides you with methodical and targeted support as you take your first steps in COSIMA.

Ideally, we’ll work closely together on this: Based on a pilot project, we’ll jointly establish the guidelines for your future work in the new content management system. You’ll provide the essential insider knowledge, and we’ll contribute our COSIMA expertise. As a bonus, this approach will also give you specific training on the system.

Together we will work through these topics, among others:

  • Basic Configuration (see also " Configuring COSIMA")
  • Entering and editing content
    • Customize the User Interface (View)
    • Setting Up CMS Navigator Effectively
    • Create Modules in the XML Editor
    • Using and Customizing Authors’ Memory
    • Search and Find
    • Working with References and Variables
    • Importing and Using Resources (Graphics, Multimedia Objects)
    • Use the IGEL Callout Editor
    • Setting Up and Using the Publication Configurator
    • Granting approvals, versioning objects
    • Use the Review Client
    • Export/import translations
  • Publish content
    • Create publication projects
    • Create Publication Structures
    • Publish documents in different output media (PDF, HTML-5, etc.)
    • Publish Content in the "Pilot" Topic
  • Establish rules and document them in COSIMA
