Quick Tour
Let’s take a quick tour of the dashboard and see what’s there
Entry types are like classes in programming which you can design its structure. While you create an entry type, you can add as many field as you like and set their form type and value type.
Once you create the entry type, you have to give permissions to permission groups depending on your use case. You can do this on the settings page.
After giving permissions, you can go back to entry types page and click to Create Entry
button to create new entry for articles entry type.
Entries are like objects in programming which created from classes (entry types in our case). You have to abide structure of the entry type that you going to create entry, otherwise it will give an error under the field.
You can manage users from Users
page. Only admins have edit and delete permissions.
Permission groups are basically user groups that allows you limit each groups permission depending on your use case. Only admins can access Permission Groups
page and can create, edit and delete a permission group. By default, there are two permission group which are Admin
and Member
