How Software AG is optimizing workflowswith OpenCms 8 and the Theme Engine
2
Fill the gap between Designers and site developers
Provide a user friendly interface for design implementation and maintenance. Save time, when you have layout changes (simply create a new theme)
Strict separation of the design from the content Content is maintained only once, even if the page exists with different
layouts. Different themes can be applied to different „siblings“ of the same object. Themes are linked to folders by default. Themes linked to a folder apply to all elements in that folder as well as to all
subfolders and all elements in subfolders. Themes can be assigned to single files on an individual base.
