Weblication^® Panel

The Weblication^® Panel appears on every page as long as you are logged into Weblication^® CMS. It summarizes the most important tools for managing your website within easy reach. This is already integrated as standard in the Weblication^® project base BASE.

Depending on the user type, the BASE project version and the scope of the license, the panel offers you a different selection of functions.

Between the control elements of the panel and the Weblication^® logo, the traffic light symbol can be used to access the page information. The traffic light symbol shows directly whether a page contains an XML error (red) or not (green).

Depending on the project and licensing, a user of the Administrator user type is provided with the following functions in the panel (example based on the current BASE project). By moving the mouse over the corresponding areas, they open up as a layer menu and allow access to the corresponding functions and buttons.
