| 3 | XWiki Enterprise is divided into Spaces and Pages. Lateral menus are handled using Panels. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 1.1 Space | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | XWiki Enterprise is divided into spaces. A space is a collection of wiki pages. Grouping pages in a space makes them easier to find and browse. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | You can create as many spaces as you want in your wiki and as many pages as you want in every space. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Putting pages in the same space can be useful for the following reasons: | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | * Pages located in the same space are displayed together in the navigation treeview | ||
| 14 | * XWiki Enterprise lets you easily create an index of all the pages in a space | ||
| 15 | * The wiki's look & feel can be set at the space level (skin + panels) | ||
| 16 | * User rights can be set at the space level | ||
| 17 | * Search scope can be limited to a specific space | ||
| 18 | * The wiki can be browsed by space in the WebDAV view | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The homepage of a space is usually created at SpaceName\/WebHome. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | 1.1 Page | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | A page is the basic unit of content in XWiki Enterprise. A page is usually divided in 4 areas: | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | * *Action bar* (located at the top): | ||
| 27 | * *Content area* | ||
| 28 | * *Panels* (either on the left or right of the page, or both) | ||
| 29 | * *Tabbed area at the bottom of the page* featuring: | ||
| 30 | ** Comments | ||
| 31 | ** Attachments | ||
| 32 | ** Page history | ||
| 33 | ** Document information (parents, children, tags, included pages, backlinks) | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | The following actions can be performed on any wiki page, provided the current user has the rights to do it: | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | * Edit the page | ||
| 38 | ** Using the WYSIWYG editor: this is a rich text editor that allows you to modify the contents of your wiki page easily | ||
| 39 | ** Using the wiki editor: for users accustomed to writing in wiki syntax | ||
| 40 | * Print & export the page | ||
| 41 | ** Using the print menu, the user can display a print preview of the current page | ||
| 42 | ** Each page can be exported in the following formats: HTML, PDF, RTF (for MS Office) and XAR (XWiki Archive) | ||
| 43 | * Watch the page | ||
| 44 | ** The user can choose to add the current page to his watchlist | ||
| 45 | ** Whenever the page gets modified, he will receive an email notification | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Additionally, administrators can perform the following actions: | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | * Change page access rights | ||
| 50 | * Edit the page's objects and classes (You can find out more about these concepts on [XWiki.org>http://www.xwiki.org/]) | ||
| 51 | * Rename, copy and delete the page | ||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | 1.1 Panels | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | A panel is the rounded widget you can see on the right of every page of your wiki in the standard version of XWiki Enterprise. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | You can control panels in two ways: | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | * Choose which panels to display on the left and right of your wiki | ||
| 60 | * | ||
