The Sulu Admin Interface

In the last steps you setup your own Sulu website. The admin area should already be accessible. It gives a nice impression of the features of Sulu. And that’s just what this page does: Give you a short glance on the Sulu admin interface. Everything else you’ll learn by exploring it. There won’t be a dedicated documentation.

Dashboard

We got big plans for the dashboard, but at the moment it gives you a starting point with the implemented search. Just enter whatever you want to work on and it will give you direct links.

Contacts

Contacts on the one hand cover the handling of personal informations on the other hand they are also the user provider for Sulu Users.

You’re also able to create organizations and connect people with them.

Assets

Sulu saves assets like images or downloadable files in a global pool. They could be shared throughout webspaces.

Settings

In the settings section, stuff that is closer to the system is defined. We got user roles, categories, tags and the cache.

User Roles

You could define several roles. The admin interface looks like this:

Snippets

A Snippet is a global piece of content, that could be used in every webspace.

Content

The main part of the administration area is the content. You could edit whatever you defined before. Though it is not the biggest part on this page, this is where Sulu happens.
