Using the CMS Action Menu

Updated April 18th, 2024
Table Of Contents

When you’re logged-in to the CMS, a special admin button will appear in the bottom-right of every page on the public-facing site. You’ll see a button that looks like the Tourient logo. Click it, and the Action Menu will open from the right side of the screen.

The Action Menu includes links to actions you can take on the page you’re viewing, at the time you open the menu. These actions are contextual, meaning that which actions are available may change depending on the page you’re looking at, as well as whether you're an admin or editor.

Common Actions

Common actions are available on every page, to every staff account.

Edit This

If you see a change that needs to be made on a page, click the Edit This action to be taken directly to that page in the CMS. This link will open in a new tab.

Copy Page URL

If you want to share a page URL with someone, click the Copy Page URL action, and the current page’s URL will be copied to your clipboard.

You can then paste it wherever you need using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + V (Win) / CMD + V (Mac).

Stop Tracking Me / Start Tracking Me

This action is a toggle button to prevent or allow the analytics to track you.

If the button says You are being tracked, you are currently being tracked by the analytics. If the button says Start Tracking Me, you are not being tracked.

It is a best practice to prevent the analytics from tracking what editors and admin staff are doing on the site. This helps to maintain accuracy in your analytics reports.

Log out

At the bottom of the action menu is Log out. This will sign you out of your CMS account.

Tour-specific actions

These actions are available on tour start pages

Generate Marketing

Here, you’ll see a list of marketing or promotional assets that you can download for a tour stop page. By default, you can download a wall placard and QR code for every tour stop, and simple graphics for Facebook or Instagram posts and stories.

To preview them (approximately), click on the Preview button in each section.

To download them, click on the one you want, and the marketing asset will be generated. This may take up to 10 seconds to generate. When ready, they will be saved to your downloads folder (or wherever you have set downloads to go).
