Filenames
A Filename identifies an asset within its parent folder in Cascade CMS.
Example: For a webpage about NMSU's biology department, the filename could be "biology-department.html".
Use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores.
Example: Use "nmsu-campus-map.pdf" instead of "NMSU Campus Map.pdf".
Avoid using special characters or spaces, as this may cause issues with web browsers and URLs.
You will see the prompts below when adding a new page, a new folder, or uploading a new file.

When naming a page:
When naming a file:
A file's name is the last part of its URL in the web address generated to lead users to that file.
Only lowercase characters and no spaces are allowed.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended NOT to change the Filename of your files (and folders) after being published. (For information on changing/editing your Filename Click Here.)
Instead, change the Title or Display Name.
Titles
The Title is an optional identifier that provides a descriptive name for the asset.
Example: For the "biology-department.html" page, the title could be "NMSU Biology Department".
To set or modify a Title, locate the "Title" field in the asset's metadata settings and enter the desired text.
Titles display the name of an asset in search results, browser tabs, or bookmarks.
You can remove a page or an asset from automatic navigation menus simply by deleting its Title.
Display Names
The Display Name is another optional identifier that serves as the visible name of the asset within Cascade CMS.
Example: For the "biology-department.html" page, the display name could be "Biology Department".
Display Names can include spaces and special characters.
To set or modify a Display Name, locate the "Display Name" field in the asset's metadata settings and enter the desired text.
Change Settings
To see the Display Names in the Site Directory, you need to change the Profile Settings. Instructions below.
Click User Menu and select Settings.
Check Show asset’s Title or Display Name if available.
Click Submit.
