Simple Mode User Guide

Getting to know the Atlas Simple Mode Interface

In the next couple of screenshots we will show you how to operate the Atlas simple mode interface.

Wizards

The process of creating and managing websites is organized in different work flows. For each work flow there is a different wizard to guide you through the system.

Information screen

The i-Publisher's simple mode interface has one main menu, located to the left.

The picture you see below is i-Publisher's simple mode information screen. This is the welcome screen when you log in for the first time. Here you can see a brief review of the main simple mode functionalities. The information screen is accessible through a shortcut in the main menu.

My websites dashboard

If you have already created some websites, the dashboard, where you can see a list of your websites, would be available.

Listed under “My websites” are the websites you have created in your system. For each website, you can see:

  • its public address. i.e. website's URL
  • list of all pages – the home page is marked with red icon
  • preview image (preview screenshot of the home page)
  • shortcuts to the main actions you can perform on a website – preview(1), edit(2), publish(3), go offline(4) and delete(5)
