Create nodes
in the user interfaceThere are several ways to create new nodes in CELUM Content:
Manually in the CELUM Content main view
Via bulk import
Programmatically via API
Create nodes
in the user interfaceYou can create nodes of a specific type on each node type's main view tab in two ways:
Click the "New <node type>" button in the active menu.
Click the "Create" action in the context menu in the asset list or navigation tree.
You can create a new node on the root level of the navigation tree or as a sub-node for a currently selected node.
When you create a new node, you can set the following options in a new dialog:
Name: The node name is required at least for the configured default language.
Validation level: The validation level describes the way in which the metadata of a node or the assets within are validated. See Work with nodes for more information.
Icon: You can choose one of multiple configured icons for your node.
There may be additional tabs configured for the dialog, depending on the current node type. Additional metadata tabs contain information fields specific to your organization.
Import nodesAs a power user with super-administrator permissions, you can import multiple nodes into CELUM Content via system tasks:
The "Import Hotfolder" system task is available out of the box, but disabled by default
If you want to enable the Hotfolder import, please contact your CELUM consultant.
The "Importer" functionality requires a product extension
This product extension may require additional licensing costs!
Please see the dedicated Importer guide for your installed version in the Customer Knowledge Base.
Create nodes
via APICELUM offers several powerful APIs that allow you to create new nodes programmatically or to allow your own customers to create nodes via self-developed extensions.
The SOAP API, which is based on the SOAP protocol and can be used to extend and integrate into CELUM Content
The SDK, which is CELUM's own powerful API
You can find information on how to develop against the CELUM APIs in the Customer Knowledge Base:
Why can't I
save my node?The most likely explanation is that the node has the "strict" validation level but also contains invalid information field values (probably in a different metadata tab). Look for empty required fields, fill them in and then try saving again.
