Difference between revisions of "CitySoft Admin Guide"

Latest revision as of 15:14, 13 February 2023

The primary point of contact with both members and the public is the Main Web Site (hosted at CitySoft). This is maintained by the Webmaster, assisted by the Assistant Webmaster, Assistant Webmaster for the Store, and the Coordinatgor of the Online Armorial & Ordinary Study Group. The User Guide provided by CitySoft being obsolete and incomplete, it is thus necessary that a Web Site Admin Guide be created to guide staff.

This Admin Guide is presently under development by the Assistant Webmaster. Contributions by others will be appreciated.

Note that these are a guide to administering the web site, not for public or member users.

Access
