<p><?php echo PRODUCT_NAME; ?> uses content to on layouts. The content library is a store of all the content that

has been used on layouts in the past, and content to be used on new layouts.</p>
27
<p>In <?php echo PRODUCT_NAME; ?> content refers to individual “items” that you want to be
28
available for displaying.</p>
30
<p">For example a picture is considered as a piece of content and so is a piece of text.
31
Each piece of content has information relating to it that <?php echo PRODUCT_NAME; ?> uses to display it in the best way. You will be
32
prompted to enter all the required information when you come to add pieces of content.</p>
34
<p>Adding content on its own is not enough to actually display it on the screen, there
35
are further steps required before this can happen (i.e. Layouts).</p>

38
<p>From this content library page, content should be added before it is needed. However
39
content can also be added when creating layouts using the layout designer.</p>

<h1>Library <small>Media Administration</small></h1>
24
<p>The CMS Library contains all file based media, such as Images and Video, and all table based data (Data Sets).</p>
26
<p>In <?php echo PRODUCT_NAME; ?>, library content is placed on layouts for display. The content library is a store of all the content that has been used on layouts in the past, and content to be used on new layouts.</p>
28
<p>Each piece of content is assigned a duration which is used at display time to determine when the item is finished.</p>

<h2>Navigation <small>Media / DataSets</small></h2>
