LAYERSPACE USER GUIDE
Chapter 1 - Technical Requirements
COOKIES
In order to use the LayerSpace Content Management System (CMS) you will need to have
cookies enabled in your browser. The cookie only stores information that is needed in order to
move from one part of the CMS to another. No personal information is stored on the cookie.
SECURITY
When you have finished a CMS session, please log out of your LayerSpace. This is especially
important when using a computer in a public space such as an internet cafe or library, as it
could be possible for someone to gain access to your LayerSpace details. The CMS is set up
to automatically log you out after 15 minutes of inactivity.
BROWSER AND OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
You will need to use a modern browser with Javascript enabled and (for certain functions)
pop-up windows allowed.
The system has been tested with the following browser/operating system combinations
Mac OS X
Firefox
Safari
Chrome
Windows
Firefox
Internet Explorer
If you have a choice, we suggest and recommend using Firefox. You can download it here
The CMS may work with other operating system/browser combinations but no guarantee can
be made that full functionality will be available.
VIEWING YOUR WEBSITE
To view websites (which we also refer to as Spaces), galleries and text pages, again a fairly modern browser is required, with
cookies enabled if password protection is being used. For Flash templates, Flash player
version 8 or higher is required. Most computers built since 2006 will comply with these
requirements.
The lightbox option also requires that the user has Javascript and cookies enabled.
If you are unsure as to whether or not your computer is suitable, the easiest way is to
try it and see!
