Cascade CMS 7.14.2

Faster external link checking

The external link checker has been dramatically improved in this release. The process has been revamped to provide more accurate reporting and parallelized to check multiple external links at once. The broken link report and the link checker on asset submit will be exponentially faster when dealing with assets containing lots of external links.

If you were previously using a really low external link check timeout to avoid long wait times on asset submit, please set this timeout back to a reasonable setting like 2-3 seconds. This will help avoid false positives in the broken link report.

Login as user

By popular demand, the ability for administrators to login as other users has been added.

This feature allows administrators to see what other users are seeing to help troubleshoot issues or help guide the user through a process.

Content Ownership Assignment and Reporting

You may have a lot of content and limited resources to manage it all. It's often difficult to tell who's responsible for what. Enter formal content ownership.

In Cascade 7.14, users can now assign assets a user content owner. Additionally, we've added a report to let you quickly see what content you're responsible for, what content others are responsible for and what content has no owner assigned. The report can also be used to bulk assign content owners to sets of assets.
