Adding Functionality to a Site

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi Everyone,

I am testing Alfresco for my small business to see if we will purchase it as an ongoing solution.

We have created a site, and I can add collaborators and content however, we can't add any other functions. For example, a calendar or wiki. At this stage I am only accessing the Free Alfresco Network in the Cloud.

Some guidance on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Building a site

Now that you've personalized your own dashboard and profile, you're ready to set up a site.
Collaboration in Alfresco is based around the concept of creating sites that teams can share content in, but an Alfresco site is more than just a place to share and manage content. You can schedule and manage meetings and calendars, publish blogs and set up forums where you can have team discussions, and even write content online and publish it to wiki's.

Creating your first collaboration site
The first thing that you need to do is to create a site framework.
Customizing the site dashboard
A site's dashboard displays all information and activities associated with the site. You can customize the site dashboard just the same as you did with your personal dashboard.
Adding pages to a site
In Alfresco you can add functionality to your site such as a discussion forum, a wiki or a blog. These are known as page components.
