FirstSpirit CorporateContent

The documentation FirstSpirit CorporateContent (formerly known as "PackagePool" or "Package Management") describes the license based FirstSpirit functionality "PackagePool". It allows you to bundle objects from the FirstSpirit-Client (for example pages including all references) into so-called packages and import them by different target projects. Advantage of this function: Objects can be maintained at one central point (in the master project). Afterwards, they can be imported into the target projects automatically or manually per subscription. In this way working with company-wide uniform data is simplified considerably. Objects like company logos or section templates are just provided by a package and can imported into all target projects. When package objects change, for example the company logo, a new package version is generated. It will be imported automatically into all target projects which have a valid subscription for this package. That way you make sure that objects are always up to date.

If a valid license is present then this functionality is located in the menu option "Package pool".
