| Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on''' Configuration Management in Admin Interface'''.

| In this tutorial, we will also learn about some menu items, such as  

|  '''Extend'''

 

| '''Configuration'''

|  '''Report'''

| To record this tutorial, I am using

 

* '''Ubuntu Operating System'''

* '''Drupal 8''' and

* '''Firefox''' web browser

| As we mentioned earlier,''' Drupal''' is like a framework. So it doesn’t actually do a lot.

| The''' Extend''' menu allows us to see all the''' Modules''' or features that we have enabled on our''' Drupal site.'''

| We will be adding a number of''' Modules''' to our''' site''' as we go throughout this series.

| Because we are the''' superuser''' or the user number 1, we have access to everything.

| It says that the''' status report''' hasn’t run, and that I need to check if my''' Drupal site''' is up to date.

| I’m going to ignore that for now, and worry about that when we get to the''' Reports''' screen.

| This particular menu gives us access to configuring all the different aspects of our''' site.'''

| Like -  '''Site information,'''  '''Account settings,'''  '''Text formats and editors,''' '''Performance issues,'''  '''Maintenance mode,'''  '''Image styles,''' and others.

| But for now, let us update our''' site''' information.

| Click on''' Site information'''. And let’s change our''' Site name''' to''' Drupalville.''' and in the''' Slogan,''' type -''' "A Great Place to Learn All About Drupal." '''

| Whenever we make changes like this, they change the entire''' site'''.

| So now,  whether we had one page or a thousand pages on our''' site''', the site name across the top of every single page will be''' Drupalville'''.

| Also on this page, we get the''' Email address,''' which is the''' From address''' in automated emails.

| Recall that in '''Drupal''', every page is a web form.

| Let’s click on''' Save configuration''' button at the bottom.

| Notice that our''' site name''' is now''' Drupalville''' and we have a''' slogan''' on every page of our''' site'''.

| We will explore the''' Configuration''' menu in detail in later tutorials.

| It takes us to the''' People''' area on our''' Drupal site.'''

| You’ll notice the '''tabs- List, Permissions''' and''' Roles'''.

| This is just an introduction we’ll cover these in much more detail later.

| The''' Roles''' section allows us to  create user accounts,  manage permissions about what people can see and  what people can do on our site.

| The username''' admin''' is here.

| We can change the''' Password,''' provided we know the current one.

| There is an option to reset it, if we don’t know. Here, it tells us that our''' Role''' is''' Administrator.'''

| My '''status''' is''' Active''' and we have our own''' Personal contact form''', and our''' LOCATION SETTINGS.'''

| We can update and add our own picture by clicking on the''' Browse''' button under''' Picture'''.

| So basically, this is where we can manage our own profile. Now, click on''' Save'''.

| To summarise -  '''Roles tab''' allows us to add various''' roles'''

|  '''Permissions tab''' allows us to give certain permissions to those''' roles'''

|  And''' List tab''' allows us to assign users to those''' roles'''.  

|  They’ll get certain''' Permissions''', which will allow them  to do certain things  and see certain things on our''' Drupal site.'''

| '''People''' is where we manage all the users on our''' Drupal website'''.

| The last thing we will look at on our''' Administration toolbar''' is''' Reports'''.

| This gives us a listing of some important things that we need to know about our''' Drupal site'''.

|  '''A listing of all the fields on all entity types'''

| '''Status reports''',

 

|  '''Top “access denied”''' and  '''"Page not found” errors,'''

|  '''Top search phrases,'''  and some of the''' plugins''' that our''' Views''' may use.

| Click on''' Available updates.''' This will give a listing of all the things that might need to be updated.

| This is managed by''' Cron''' and we need to set this up on our server.

| If we had added more''' Modules''' or features to our '''site''', there would be a bigger list here.

| Click on''' Reports''' to get a''' Status report''' of our '''site'''. -

| For example what version of''' Drupal''' we have and when''' Cron''' was''' Last run'''.

| Our''' Database system, Database version''', etc.

| You should keep a close look on the''' Reports''' section of your '''site'''.

| Especially if you’re the person responsible for-  maintaining all the updates for''' Drupal''' and the''' Modules''' that you download.

| Lastly, we have''' Help''', and''' Help''' gives us links to '''help page''' of our '''site'''.

| With this we come to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.

| In this tutorial we have learnt about menu items

 

* '''Extend'''

* '''Configuration'''

* '''People''' and

* '''Report'''
