Can CMS do this, that or the other thing?

Most of the features of CMS are documented, so if you don't see a feature described in the knowledge base or specifically listed here, it might not be possible to this or that without a work-around right now.

How can you find out for sure?  Here are some suggestions

• Inspect the articles available in the knowledge base under www.ndsu.edu/cms to see if the feature you want is documented
• Send a message to the CMS User List to see if anyone else has done what you want to do (subscribe to the list)
• If the feature is not available, you may submit a feature request to the ITS Help Desk. This doesn't guarantee the functionality will become available (there may be technical limitations to doing so) but will alert developers to your request so it may be considered in the future. Already submitted requests are listed

• WYSIWYG editing (like Microsoft Word)
  • Ordered/numerical and unordered/bullet lists
