How to use fields in your site.
Fields are the types of information that the software will substitute into the templates in each page. Some are predefined and some are user defined. Some are global and others are local.
Global fields are the same throughout a site, Index for instance might mean teh same thing on every page. The data they contain is set on the settings panel.
Local fields are specific to articles and can only be used in them. Each article has the same local fields (though obviously each article has different data in it's fields).
There are three broad types of field:- Singleline fields: these are intended to be short pieces of text
- Multiline fields: these separate a piece of text into many paragraphs
- File fields: these specify files that will be substituted into the document when the site is created
