The user interface of hyperCMS is called hyperCMS Dashboard. It is the workspace for all users, administrators, designers, site managers, and editors.

Via group management you can assign permissions to user groups. These permissions are inherited to every user inside a group. This enables administrators to easily manage all users and groups. Designers have access to templates and media files. A site manager administers the entire structure of the website. Editors manage contents and create new pages. This system allows your organization to assign certain tasks to dedicated employees and to split competences according to your organizational structure or individual needs.

The user interface is based on Windows XP and is therefore easy to use and does not require much training.

A brief overview of the essential parts of the user interface:

1. IE 5.5+, Firefox 1.0+, Mozilla 1.3+ und Netscape 7+ Browser or higher required for using hyperCMS. For hyperCMS is 100% browser based no additional client software is required.
2. The hyperCMS Navigator provides access to all functions and the website itself and is always visible. Depending on the permissions assigned to a user by his group affiliation he is given access to certain functions.
3. The hyperCMS Workspace Control. In this area all actions inside the workspace can be controlled. If you are navigating inside a website the name and location of the current page are displayed in the Location Bar. Below you can find the Tool Bar, over which all available actions can be accessed. Here you can e.g. create a new folder in the current location and create or publish new pages. A message pop up shows the results of the respective action.
4. The hyperCMS Workspace provides additional information and actions regarding the chosen element in the Navigator or selected function in the toolbar. It also acts as an object navigator, similar to a file manager.
5. After choosing an object (page or component) in the workspace it can be opened in hyperCMS EasyEdit and edited using a WYSIWYG-Editor (What You See Is What You Get).
