Welcome to our Wiki on Cumulus. Using this site you can gain inside knowledge on the product as well as how others are using it and tips and tricks to make Cumulus work better for you.

As a user you may perform a number of tasks on the Wiki:

Reading

As with all Wiki's everyone is free to read the content on the site. As you read an article you may follow links to other pages on our Wiki or externally. Links within our Wiki are shown in blue. Links to external sites are shown in blue with an arrow proceeding them. If you come across a link in red, this means the page you are linking to has yet to be created.

Examples:

• an internal Wiki link to our Main Page
• a link to the external site for Cumulus

You are free to copy and reference any content on the site but you must provide a link back to the original article in our Wiki.

Searching

On the left of every page is a search bar -- in here type any word or phrase.

Go button

Clicking the GO button will attempt to take you to the page with the exact word or phrase you have typed. Use this as quick way to navigate to a page you know already exists.

Search button

Click the Search button will perform an extensive search of all the pages in our Wiki in an attempt to find your word or phrase. The results will be displayed in a new page for you to review and refine.

• Searching is case insensitive -- searching for weather, Weather, or WEATHER return the same results
• Search for a complete phrase using quotation marks. Example "Cumulus software"
• Wildcard searching -- wind* would find Wind, Windy, Windspeed....

For extensive assistance on how to search, see here
