Accessing Sitecore

The Sitecore system can be accessed
by visiting the following URLs:
Development Site: http://med-sc-
dev.usc.edu/sitecore
Production Site: http://med-sc-
cms1.usc.edu/sitecore/login

At the login screen, there are various
options that allow access to the two
different methods of editing content.
The two content editing modes are
the Content Editor, and Edit Web

encourage you do to the same.

Editing Items
Before you begin, please be sure that you disable your pop-up blockers.
Locking and Item
Before an item can be edited, it must be locked. Locking prevents changes from being
overwritten by another user editing content at the same time. Content locking can be turned
off if there are very few content editors.
If the item needs to be locked, then the warning will appear beneath the name of the item. To
lock the item, click the Edit button OR the Lock and Edit link on the page. After clicking the
Edit button, the item can be edited.

Publishing Items
19
In order to publish an item, it must go through a workflow process.





The workflow process is in place to ensure that content is appropriately reviewed before being
published onto the live website
There are two workflows in place:
KSOM Content Workflow (used for standard site content and pages)
KSOM News and Events Workflow (used solely for news and event items, and to publish specifically to
the Home Page and Master Calendar)
Each workflow process follows a few basic steps (shown below) and begins when a user wants
to publish content to be displayed on the site
