# About the CMS

The Exan PatientAccess content management system (CMS) consists of a set of secured pages for website administrators to manage the layout, structure, content, and settings of the PatientAccess application.

## About the tabs

The PatientAccess CMS is made up of the following tabs:

Pages tab

The options in the Pages tab enable you to control the layout and accessibility of the pages in PatientAccess.

Fields | Field Description
--- | ---
Page ID | The ID automatically assigned to the page.
Page Title | The page title displays on the main navigation menu or on the left-navigation (sub) menu.
Template | The template being used to define the styles and the structure of the page.
Parent | The hierarchy of the page, for example, whether the page displays at the top (parent) level or at the sub (child) level on the left-navigation menu. There are only two hierarchical levels.
Priority | The order of pages, for example, pages are ordered incrementally using whole numbers (1,2, 3, 4 etc.) and decimals, such that the Home page is tagged with Priority 1 (first item on the main navigation menu) followed by Appointments, tagged with Priority 2 (second item on the main navigation menu).

### What can you do in the Pages tab?

You can:

- Add a custom page
- Define the structure and styles of a page
- Delete a page
- Hide a page
- Move or reorder pages
- Rename a page
- Modify content on a page

Settings tab

You can control the behavior of logic elements with parameters, navigational controls, and labels/messages. The following defines each of these:

- Parameters are numeric values, typically values 0-2. For example, these parameters are used to show/hide fields/buttons or to make areas on a page editable/read-only.
- Navigation Controls are control or buttons; for example, OK, Close, Finished, Mark as Correct/Incorrect.
- Labels/Messages consist of text fields containing a word, a phrase, a clause or a question.

Hover over a tooltip to view the description of a field and its values.

This example tooltip indicates that the value for the setting represents the number of passwords patients can enter before they can use a previously used password. Therefore, if you enter a value of 0, there will be no restriction on a patient using an old password. The default is 3.

Templates tab

The Templates page contains the ExanDefault template and any additional custom templates that have been created. Each page has a template attached that defines its styles and structure. A template enables you to control the appearance and behavior of a page’s content.

On this page, you can:

- View the default template.
- Preview a template.
- Create a new template and enter your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Create a copy of the default template that you can then customize.
- Delete a customized template.
