How to insert a block in the page:

once you have created a page and chosen a layout, it's possible to insert some functions blocks, to manage:

Different kinds of blocks: each standard function or new implemented one is a block. This can be put anywhere in a page

Permissions of the blocks:
In each page, a block can be positioned anywhere, and each block represents a function. It is possible to assign some rules to these blocks, for instance to show the publishing date...
The view control of the blocks is for groups. In each page we can have different blocks for different users. For Instance, for the user group "marketing" we can create a document only for them, that will be hidden for the other users.

Block styles
For each block we can assign a style:

• Background color
• Borders
• Block title
• Font
  

The style can be decided during the creation of the block and can be edited in every moment.
