Most medium- to large-sized organizations have multiple data-based content sources they need publishing to publish via websites or mobile apps. Picturepark can serve as a central hub that connects those upstream business systems with output channels , so that data doesn't need to be manually copied or updated.

  • Back-end content creation or content selection

  • Front-end content formatting and presentation

Picturepark is the back-end content creation or content selection. The front end is based on standard HTML and CSS that , which is built by a website or app developer.

Each Microsite may be a Virtual Content Item that acts as a template for the content structure of the Microsite or the summary of Virtual Content Items, taking the structure form from the underlying Virtual Type. An example structure might be a headline, an abstract, some descriptive text, the selection of a "hero" image to serve as a banner, and a variety of related content available for download from the Microsite.

Picturepark users edit the Content item for the Microsite to provide the static text values that will serve as headlines and descriptive text , and to select content to be included on the Microsite, either by direct selection or by editing a Filter that determines dynamic content selection. A MicrositeContent item can be edited at any time by any permitted user.

...

In either case, each time the Microsite is loaded via website or mobile app, the content comes from Picturepark on the fly. So, any changes made to the Microsite Content item are the Microsite Content item will be reflected immediately. If a content distribution network (CDN) is in use, the time required for Microsite changes to be propagated are is dependent on the CDN.

Content Routing between Systems

Picturepark Microsites can serve as an intermediary between upstream systems in which master data is managed , and output channels through which that data must be published.

...
