This city department folder has been set up specifically to demonstrate all of the features made available by our Open-eGov product suite. By design, this department and its content is not editable, so that its content remains in a functional state properly reflecting our product design.

The contents of the various types of documents are used to explain the use of each document type. On a live site, such as our city's official site, the documents would contain appropriate information according to the type. For instance, this page, which is a standard Plone 'page' document, would contain relevant information introducing the City Manager department. This page, by having a short-name of 'front-page',  becomes the default view for this folder, which is a Plone standard.

In the Related content box below is a list of folders and pages that are created automatically when a city department is created. In order to view these folders, you must be logged in because Open-eGov modifies the site to not allow anonymous access to standard folders within departments. Instead, it traverses up the hierarchy to a published front-page. An empty Home Page ('front-page') is also created in the department folder.

Other folders can be created by content managers, but do not have any built-in way for accessing, other than folders with links in the custom folder that generate custom portlets. If logged in, you can click on the Contents tab above to see a complete list.

Below that are spotlights, which are created in the spotlights folder. Inclusion of spootlights in the list here is managed using the spotlights tool which is accessed by editing the department folder. The spotlights can also be 'pushed' to the site's front-page. Once requested ('pushed'), an executive publisher can use the spotlights tool from the Executive Publisher portlet to add it to the front page. The spotlights tools can also be used to change the order of the spotlights.
