Overview:
The SUNY Content Management System is an online tool that enables SUNY employees to communicate crucial and valuable online information to targeted audiences as well as the public at large. The SUNY CMS online tool is user-friendly and allows content managers to create and modify pages, upload files, and edit images for their web sites. It has the capacity to include virtually any type of content: Web pages, Word documents, PDF documents, spreadsheets, presentations, text files, images, and even videos. Thanks to the SUNY CMS, information and resources that were previously difficult to share online are now easily shared.
Technical Information:
SUNY offices with a Web site can have up to two user accounts for the SUNY CMS. For auditing reasons, each account must be assigned to only one person, and cannot be shared. If the assignee needs to be changed, this can be done by request. Existing sites require some set-up to be compatible with the system, so there may be a delay between the access request and when access is granted. New sites using an existing template are set up on average within 48 hours of approval.
Best Use:
Managing content and files directed toward anyone who uses the Web.
