Use Case:  Create Content Object

  Actor

    - Content Creator

  Assumptions

    - Content Creator has logged into the CMF (see "Login to the
      Site":LoginAsMember).

  Procedure

    1. Navigate to a location within CMF where you have rights to
       add content.  For example, select 'My Stuff' from your
       navigation bar to create the content in your member folder.
 
    2. If needed, select the 'Folder contents' link from the action
       box.

    3. Click the "New" button.  The system will display the "Add
       Content" page.  From the list of available content types[1],
       select the radio button corresponding to the type of content
       which you wish to create.  Enter an appropriate ID[2] for
       the new piece of content, and click the "Add" button.
      
    4. The system will create a new, empty content object of the
       type you selected, and display the "Standard Resource Metadata"
       edit form.  This form, common across all of the default
       content types which come stock with the CMF, allows you to
       enter specific metadata about your new content:

       **Title** --
         A string used to identify your content.

       **Description** --
         A short summary of the content.

       **Subject** --
         A set of keywords, used for cataloging your content.

       The form provides three submit buttons, each of which saves
       your content:

       **Change** -- 
         commits your changes and return to the metadata form.

       **Change and Edit** --
         commits your changes and redirects to the edit form, which
         will allow you to enter the "body" of your content.
         
       **Change and View** --
         commit your changes and proceed to viewing your new piece
         of content.

    5. Select "Change and Edit", and supply the initial content for
       your object as follows:

       **Document** --
         Enter the text for your object, as either Structured
         Text[3] or HTML[4].  You may either type or paste the text
         into the textarea, or upload it from your computer.

       **News Item** --
         Fill out the "Lead-in" and "Body" text areas.

       **File / Image** --
         Upload the content from your computer.

       **Link / Favorite / Event** --
         Fill out the form with appropriate values.

       Fill out the form and select the "Change" button to save your
       content.

    6. You may wish to continue with one of the workflow use cases:
    
       - "Submit Content for Review":SubmitContentForReview
       
       - "Publish Content":PublishContent

  Notes

   ..[1] see "Default CMF Content Types",DefaultContentTypes.stx.

   ..[2] Don't confuse the content's ID with the its Title. ID's cannot
         contain special characters (e.g., comma, asterisk, brackets,
         parentheses, etc.)  A good practise is not to use spaces in
         an ID either. The ID is used in the URL to reach the folder's
         content, so any character which is not allowed in a URI is not
         allowed in the id (see "URI RFC",
         http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt).

   ..[3] See "Structured Text Introduction":StructuredTextIntro

   ..[4] The HTML you enter will have everything outside the BODY
         tag stripped off;  the TITLE and META tags will be used, if
         present, to update the content's metadata.
