📚Resources

Resources are the foundation of the authoring work of users. Resources can be viewed either by navigating to the Dashboard page or visiting the dedicated Resources page.

Resources Page

The Resources page provides a list-style overview of all the resources available in Snowray.

Depending on your access type, you might not have permission to all the content. For more information, check out the Access management page.

Each resource type is indicated with its own icon, and they can be arranged into Bundles to create a hierarchical and more organized structure.

Selecting a resource will activate the Details section, which will be updated with useful information about the given resource, such as ID, status, owner, creation date, or access details.

Browse and Organize

Resources can be accessed in two different ways: either from the Dashboard or from the Resources Page. Clicking on the title of a resource, will always open it and take users to its Overview tab, where all the relevant information is displayed, such as ID, title, URL, status, language, owner, usage, and description. Certain fields can also be edited.

To check whether the content can be changed, hover over its text: if the edit icon is visible, click to modify the details.

Clicking on one of the matching results from the drop-down widget will always navigate users to the Content tab of the corresponding resource.

Lifecycle

After creating a resource, its status will be set automatically to draft. Once the content reached its desired state and was released, the status of the resource will be updated to active. Should a resource be outdated or out of use, it can be retired and be reviewed later on. On the other hand, if a resource is not intended to be used again, it can also be deleted.

Refresh Page

When working with resources, the page of the resource will not be refreshed automatically. If a page gets outdated because of modifications made by other users, a dialog will appear in the bottom right corner to indicate this.

To refresh the page, simply click on the button prompted in the notification.

Refreshing the page will discard all the uncommitted changes.

After clicking on the refresh button, users need to confirm their decision in the warning dialog in order to allow refreshing the page and getting the latest changes.

Pressing Proceed completes the refresh process.
