Can I customize CMS UP-LOADER for my database?
In addition to the 4 CMS platforms that CMS UPLAOD UTILITY supports, you can create a custom import setting that works with most standard SQL databases.
What is an example use of this UTILITY?
Newsroom Example : On their file server, Newspaper.com creates a folder for each category: NEWS, SPORTS, BUSINESS, etc. Stories are simply saved to the appropriate folder on the file server, and the UTILITY uploads them to the website CMS into predetermined categories and tags them accordingly. Application preferences can be set to publish the content immediately, or in a pending status for future editing/placement online.
Reporter Example: A reporter has collected 15+ supporting documents related to the story they have been working on. Instead of “copy & pasting” each of them into the website CMS, the reporter an drop all 15 documents into a folder and upload them all using the UP-LOADER UTILITY. Each upload can be customized to set the appropriate TAGS, AUTHOR, & STATUS.
