Hi! This is Erin with ASI. This video will provide an overview of East Edit. This is
a helpful tool that allows users with administrative privileges to edit content directly from a
page. You can use Easy edit from any of your web pages - From the staff site, the member
site, the donor site, or any custom site you choose to create.
All iMIS sites come pre-configured with beautiful and functional content. On the Staff site,
you can navigate through RiSE to the Page Builder. From here you can see all of the
content folders that contain the elements to build your websites. Check out some of
our other videos for information on that topic. Easy Edit, on the other hand, allows you to
make changes to sites directly from the page you'd like to modify.
We are logged in to the Donor site as a staff user with full administrative privileges.
Our organization likes to express appreciation for our volunteers by recognizing a couple
of outstanding individuals every month. It's time to update our spotlight, so let's do
that now.
I'll click over to the What we do page.
At the top of the page, click on the easy edit icon. You'll know that it's enabled when
it is highlighted yellow.
Now you can see, as we mouse over portions of the page, a dashed line appears. The dark
line indicates the content record, while the lighter lines call out the individual iParts
within the content record.
You can see that this page has one content record that contains 5 separate iParts.
There are two ways to use Easy Edit from this page. First you can open the content record.
by clicking here on the blue content record bar. You can see all of the iparts on this
content record.
From here, you can rearrange the iparts. [drag and swap bottom 2 content HTML iparts]. You
are also able to configure, or edit, your iParts from this location by clicking on configure
for your desired iPart.
Once you've completed your changes to the content record, click save & publish.
The second way to use Easy Edit is to adjust your iParts directly. At the bottom of each
of the areas called out by the light blue dashed lines, you'll see a solid blue bar.
Click on this to open up the configuration options for an individual iPart.
Make your changes, and click Save & Publish.
You'll see that your changes are visible immediately. No need to leave the page your are working on to make
edits and changes. Easy edit makes it quick and painless to make tweaks to your webpages.
Thanks for watching!
