The administration interface of your website, is called the Admin Area. This area provides all the features you need to manage most of your website without the need for any knowledge of programming or the use for developer tools (such as FTP and phpMyAdmin).
The Admin Area is divided up into several sections. Here's a short overview of the sections and the available functionality within those sections.
TIP: As of e107 v2.x, the Admin Area has been redesigned to be much more user-friendly and allow for lots of customization. Learn more about its functionalities.
The main page of the Admin Area that is shown when you enter the administration interface is called the dashboard. The dashboard provides a quick overview of your website's status, and provides quick links to specific areas within the Admin Area.
The dashboard can also be customized to your liking. You can move around the different panels, and customize the quick links to specific areas of your website.
This area is used to set preferences and the basic configuration of your website.
