Creating components
If after using the CMS, you find there is something you can't do, the admin contains the ability to add new components. Contact your developer to discuss the possibilities.
Edit Components
This section contains the ability to edit the components that are in CMS. This area should only be used by developers or advanced users.
There are two types of components: local view and DB.
Local view components are created in the codebase and then added to the CMS. These components can be edited in the codebase and then pushed to the CMS but are not editable in the admin. These are usally the core components.
DB components are stored locally in the admin. So when clicking on these components you are able to see the html, css and javascript that are making them work and edit them.
We can easily create a DB component that is immeditately usable in admin.
As well as the component there is the option to edit entities this controls the options that are visible in the cms such as dropdowns and text entry.
There is also a section to set defaults.
