Supported Content App Types in AppManager
The AppManager has several content app “types”. The type associated with a particular content app is set by the developer/admin for the site, so typical content authors only need to know what to expect when using certain app types.
- Author App Type: Base content app used for loading content. Please reference Working with Author Type Content Apps
- Curated App Type: Used for managing a curated list of items (new, events, people, etc.). Please reference Working with Curated Type Content Apps
- File App Type: Used for document uploads.
- Image Gallery App Type: Used for managing images
- Slider App Type: Used for creating multiple “slides” of content. Please reference Working with Quicklinks Type Content Apps
- Quicklinks: Used for creating a hierarchical tree view of folders and links. Please reference Working with Slider Type Content Apps
To create a new content app in AppManager, or change the settings for an existing content app, please refer to AppManager Content App Settings
