  2. Open the access point () and choose Add Content. The CMS400.NET editor appears.

  5. Enter a title. For example, 401k Retirement Planning.
  6. Click Browse and locate the file that you want to upload. For example, 401k Retirement Planning.doc.
  7. Click on the Category tab and select one or more categories to which this item belongs. For example, you can set this to Company-Wide News and HumanResources Collateral.
  8. Click Publish () to upload the document into the News folder.
    Show me.

  • Choose another CMS400.NET folder to display in the eI_ListSummary widget.
  1. Edit the page using PageBuilder.
