Cascade Server
Cascade Server is the content management system (CMS) used by Miami University to ensure brand consistency and web accessibility and to help web editors across campus update their websites.
These pages provide step-by-step instructions for web page creation and editing in Cascade. The intended audience is anyone that has been designated as the web editor for their office. There are also sample pages for ideas of what your page layouts can look like. Use our Self-Service Tools to learn more about Formstack, email marketing, and other marketing tools.
