Manage static pages

ICA-AtoM ships with a default welcome message on the home page and an about page that provides additional information about the application and project. Both these static pages can be edited by administrators or editors to reflect their own institution's or network's requirements. There are two ways to access the edit page: from a link on the pages themselves or from the "Admin > Static pages" menu.
