In addition to Templates, CommonSpot Elements greatly simplify the ability to create exciting, media-rich Web pages. Each Element is a predefined object or logical structure that defines the display of content on a page. CommonSpot provides a Gallery of versatile structuring Elements for delivering rich Web content, from a simple Text Block, to a dropdown list of links, text around an image, hierarchical menus, and video content.
Elements make it easy to contribute content. Each Element has a set of wizards or dialogs to guide you through content rendering options.
Administrators and designers can also assign security at the Element level, offering a granular level of access, with options to control both who can manage content, and who can view it. See:User Authentication and Security Permissions, Security, and Defining Element Security in the Administrators Reference and Element Security in this guide for more information on assigning rights to Elements.
For a complete list of all out-of–the-box CommonSpot Elements and related wizards, see the CommonSpot Elements Reference.
