The Content Explorer is a central repository for the management of structured data records. Content Types define the schema or template for data records.

  • launch the application

  • from global navigation

    • select Content Explorer

    • select a Content Type
    • select a Category

Navigating the Content Explorer Console

The Content Explorer console contains records that are organized by “Type”. For example a Program is a “Type” of record. Upon entering, the content types are listed in the left panel. Clicking on a content type will display a list of all records in the main content panel (right side).

Content Types include:

  • Programs
  • Activities, Trips, and Classes

  • Jobs

  • Global Content

  • Link Lists

See the individual documented Content Types for their definition and associated category specifics.

The Details captured within the records change to reflect the details needed by the categories, within each content type. Each record detail will capture metadata specific to the content type and categories selected. 

For example, under the Programs content type, then Movies category, the record metadata captures Additional Information to include Feedback link and NMPS ID fields. This is not captured on any other category because it is specific to the Programs category of Movies.
