Glossary
The terms you’ll come across while building your careers site in the CMS, defined once here. Each page links back to this glossary rather than re-explaining the basics.| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| CMS | Content Management System — the visual page builder in Studio where you create and maintain every page on your careers site. No code required. |
| Page | A single URL on your site (for example /about). Pages hold the content a candidate sees. Managed from CMS → Pages. |
| Section | A full-width horizontal row of a page. Sections stack vertically and can have their own background colour, image, or video. |
| Column | A vertical division within a section, sized on a 12-column grid. You set each column’s width separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile. |
| Block | The actual content inside a column — text, image, video, job search, button, map, and so on. |
| Slug | The URL path for a page (the part after your domain). /graduate-roles is the slug for yourcareers.com/graduate-roles. / on its own is the home page. |
| Section ID | A unique ID for a section on a page. It can be used for anchor links and scroll navigation, such as #our-roles. |
| Label | An internal name for a column or block. Labels help editors navigate complex pages and can be used by developers for CSS targeting. |
| Search parameter | A value added to a URL after ?, often used to control interactive content such as tabs or filtered views. |
| Locale | The language a page is served in. The default locale has no URL prefix; others are prefixed automatically (for example /fr-fr/about). |
| Theme | The site-wide design system — colours, fonts, typography, and component styles. Changing the theme affects every page at once. |
| Prefab | A section saved as a reusable, live-linked component. Editing and publishing the prefab updates it on every page that uses it. |
| Template | A pre-built section layout provided by inploi. Inserting a template drops a one-time, fully editable copy into your page. |
| Upload | Any media file (image, video, font, document) stored in the Uploads library and reused across the site. |
| Alt text | A public description of an image used by screen readers and search engines. In Studio, this is managed as the asset description. |
| Version | A saved snapshot of a page or prefab. Every save creates a version, so you can switch back to an earlier one from History. |
| Publish | Making a saved version live so candidates can see it. Saving alone does not change the live site. |
| Resource | A piece of data a page fetches when it loads — most commonly a single Job — so its values can be used in content. Configured in Settings → Resources. See Resources and dynamic pages. |
| Dynamic parameter | A wildcard part of a slug written with a colon, such as id in /job/:id. It captures the matching part of the URL so one page can serve many URLs. |
| Interpolation | Dropping a live value into content with double curly braces, such as {{resources.job.title}}. The token is replaced with the real value when the page renders. |
| Condition | A rule that shows or hides a section, column, block, or field based on live data (for example, a URL parameter or a job field). |
