About HTML Pages

CSM provides several OOTB HTML Pages.

A CSM HTML Page is an HTML-coded web-like page used to display information on a CSM Customer Portal Site or in the CSM Browser Client.

HTML Pages can be:

  • Internal HTML Pages: HTML pages that users design and code. Users can insert CSM commands directly into the page, as well as CSM Images, Tokens, and Stored Values.
  • External HTML Pages: Existing websites; users supply the URL.

Use an HTML Page to display:

  • A company website as a Startup Item on a Portal Site.
  • A hardware website or forum on a Portal Site (add an Action to a Site menu bar to display an HTML page).
  • A hard-coded HTML Page that Users design directly in the Browser Client.

Use these OOTB HTML Pages as-is, edit them, or create new HTML Pages using the HTML Page Manager. CSM also provides the HTML Page Editor to help design and code your own Internal HTML Page.

Note: The HTML Page Editor is useful for building pages. For more advanced options, it is assumed that users have a working knowledge of HTML and possibly CSS.
