The Features stored in TYPO3 are used to display three major sections of content on the pages for the Website. Features consist of Slides, Stories and Sidebar types.

Slides are located at the top of a webpage and span the entire width of the page. Stories are located at the bottom-left of a webpage and are contained in the Main column only, thus they do not span the entire width of the page. Sidebars are displayed in the "Sidebar" of a webpage, this begins slightly under the Slide section and runs down the right-hand side of the webpage.

All three types of Features, for the most part, have the same properties. The sections on Adding Features will provide further details as to which properties apply to each type of Feature. Additionally this section will provide information over differences between the Feature types, for example if an image is displayed in a different location on a particular Feature.

To create, edit or delete Features for the website, the user must log into the TYPO3 backend. The management operations of the website are done through the Backend Interface provided by the TYPO3 content management system. Please login with the user credentials provided to you, in order to complete any of the actions you wish to perform.

In order to login in the Backend Interface, you have to open the following link in your browser: http://www.adventist.org/typo3/ and type in your username and password.

Click on the List icon on the left side of the screen. Next expand the Data folder in the center column. Then expand the Features folder under the Data folder. There should be three folders under the Features folder: Slides, Sidebar and Stories.

Select the type of feature you wish to create and click on the text beside the proper folder, in this case click on "Slides". When the right-hand side screen refreshes, at the top of the screen you will see a page header "Slides". In this screen, you will click on the add new icon.

When the right-hand screen refreshes, the "Create new Features on page Slides" page will appear. In this screen you will fill out the fields as detailed below. Please note that not all the fields need to be filled out for every Slide, it depends on the purpose for the Slide.
