The administrator: editorial and technical skills 

Thanks to customizations, FORGE allows you to model digital experiences boundlessly.

Customizations extend the editorial model to both 

• Content side: custom editorial entities, external tags, etc.
• Presentation side: custom templates, layouts, and modules.

Administrators have a mix of editorial and technical skills while producers master the digital product requirements. Administrators and producers collaborate to reach the desired level of FORGE customization.

This article outlines the working methods and features that facilitate effective collaboration between administrators and producers.

Way of working

As you'll discover in the following articles, most customization requires writing JSON documents and calling API endpoints. That requires technical skills and tools beyond the scope of digital producers.

When it comes to setting FORGE up, there are two possible collaboration scenarios:

1. Producers collaborate with their technical team independently of Deltatre.
2. Producers collaborate with the Deltatre technical team in charge of the digital project together with producers.
