Interface for IXIA CCMS Web

Different pages convey information about content, content assignment, and content status. Each customized page fits a specific purpose, such as writing content or managing assignments. Pages have a similar layout that typically involves the navigation bar, the dashboard or toolbar, and the main area for user interactions. The main area may be a long list, a dynamic grid, or an editor tool.
