First Steps
Logging in to Omni CMS
To edit any page, login by clicking the DirectEdit link (copyright symbol at the bottom of the page).
If you have editing permissions for that page and have logged in successfully, you
will then be taken to the page's Edit View. From there, you will be able to edit any
editable regions you have permission to edit and will also be able to navigate to
other pages and information that you have access to using Omni CMS.
