Associate with design note: Custom file view columns must be associated with Design Notes. After you've created a custom file view column,


select an option from this list to associate a Design Note property with the custom file view column. Options in this list include Assigned, Due, Priority, and Status. Align: Sets the alignment of text in the file view column. Options include the standard Left, Center, and Right align. Show: Enable or disable this check box to show or hide a file view column. Share with all users of this site: Allows you to share custom file view columns with other members of the collaborative team. It's fine if the Notes column is hidden because we won't be working with Design Notes until Chapter 12, "Building Dreamweaver Websites within Teams." Also, because we won't be using the Check In and Check Out functionality until Chapter 12, go ahead and select the Checked Out By column name in the File View Columns pane and uncheck the Show check box. The Contribute Category Macromedia's Contribute makes it easy for content managers in your organization to add and modify content on the website without the need to know Dreamweaver. You can make your site accessible through Contribute by enabling the check box in the Contribute category screen, shown in Figure 4.19. Figure 4.19. Enable Contribute compatibility by enabling this check box.

Contribute is covered in much more detail in Chapter 13, "Managing Website Content Management Using Contribute."             Managing a Website in Dreamweaver Defining a site is the first step to managing a website within the framework of Dreamweaver. Now that you've learned about the site definition features built into both the Basic and Advanced screens, let's take a look at the features built into Dreamweaver to help you manage your website. Managing a site in Dreamweaver begins with the Files panel. Shown in Figure 4.20, the Files panel outlines folders and files in your defined site, allows you to manipulate filenames and placement as you would be able to within your operating systems file explorer, features views for local, remote, and testing server, allows you to quickly Get and Put files, and even check out files if working in teams. Figure 4.20. The Files panel outlines various features for working with a defined site.   A complete list of features outlined within the Files panel is detailed here: File menu: Displays a list of drives, folders, files, and defined sites. Although most of the icons appear similar to your operating system's file browser, Dreamweaver includes green folder icons near the bottom of the list to represent defined sites. Also at the bottom of the list, the Manage Sites option appears that, when clicked, launches the Manage Sites dialog. View menu: Use the View menu to select from Local, Remote, Testing Server, and Site Map views. Local and Site Map views show as soon as they are selected
