The magnolia CMS has an important role in the HeraeusWeb service and its headless architecture to reach the vision of a seamless Customer Experience Platform:

  • magnolia supports to easily integrate third party data into the content and connect different data source applications, as we have with e. g. CRM or PIM
  • it supports internationalization and personalization of customer content in a unified author experience

Working with Apps

Within magnolia all content and data is maintained within several apps. Each app is a kind of data pool and there are connections between them to bring the data together. Assets for example are maintained in the so called Assets app, contacts are maintained in the so called Contacts app.

All content pages are built in the so called Pages app. Content pieces out of the other apps are just embedded by a reference to the data of the other apps

Example: you like to insert an image into your content page, so this image needs to be stored into the asset app first. 

Some apps you are using quite often in your daily business, others you do not need regularly. Therefore you have the possibility to bookmark your favourites.
