Accessing the CMS

Drupal 10 uses Single Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, enabling a seamless and secure login experience. This means you can log in using your organization’s credentials without needing a separate Drupal-specific password.

When creating new content, you can pick from the available content types. To do this, visit [your-media-site]/node/add or navigate through the CMS menu. Content types to choose from include:

• Article
• Author
• Basic Page
• Collection
• Coverage
• Resource
• Video

Taxonomy in Drupal 10 helps organize and categorize content, making it easier to find and relate information across the site. Editors can use taxonomies to tag content with relevant terms, improving searchability and user navigation.

Enterprise Taxonomy Management

Currently, the Enterprise Taxonomy is managed externally and automatically synced into each media site. This structured approach ensures consistency across all platforms. In the new sites, this process will be extended to cover all taxonomy vocabularies, maintaining a unified categorization system.

Key Taxonomy Groups

• Content – Categorizes content types for better filtering.
• Event – Tags content related to events.
• Industry Leaders – Associates content with key figures in the industry.
• Language – Defines content language for multilingual support.
• Products – Links content to relevant products.
• Region – Tags content by geographical relevance.
• Tag & Topic – General classification for broad categorization.
• Resource Central, Sponsors, Tags, and Topics – Additional categories for enhanced discoverability.

New Editor Capabilities

Editor administrators will now have the ability to add new taxonomy terms without developer assistance, allowing for greater flexibility in content categorization. This empowers teams to keep the taxonomy up to date without waiting for system updates or developer intervention.

What is a Revision?

A revision is a saved version of a content item (articles, basic pages, collections, etc.) at a specific point in time. Every time you edit and save content, Drupal can store a new revision, allowing you to go back to earlier versions if needed.

Forms allow you to collect information from website visitors, whether for newsletter sign-ups, event registrations, or contact requests. On the media sites, forms are created using Webforms, a flexiable tool that makes it easy to build and manage forms without coding.

Most forms will integrated with Marketo to send data directly into the marketing automation tool.
