Note

The Add Content menu is one of the few aspects of Cascade 8 (and thus the Aldrich templates) that cannot be managed centrally. As such, the menu for your site may look different than what is described here since the menu contents for new sites will change as the templates evolve.

If you don’t have access or a particular menu item or can’t find what you’re looking for, reach out through ServiceNow and a Cascade admin can help reorganize and repopulate your menu.

When a page is selected in the asset tree, a preview of the page will appear in the main area of the interface, but the particular type of preview will depend on which output is selected.

The currently selected output is displayed in the top right of the interface. A different output can be selected by clicking the output name.

Info

Changing the output is unnecessary in most cases, but may be helpful when troubleshooting customizations.

With this output selected, hovering over a widget or layout will cause it to ‘pop out’ and the block name will appear above with a direct link to the block itself. This is helpful for quickly identifying where on a page a block is placed and accessing it to make edits.

In cases where the block shortcuts are unhelpful, distracting, or interfere with what you’re trying to do, select the php output. This output provides a standard page preview, without block shortcuts present.

This output allows you to see the structured data of your page the way Cascade sees it.
