Request AEM Access
Content authors and select SMEs will require access to AEM. There are multiple user roles, each with their own level of permissions. Reviewers, approvers and testers should not require access. Download the Access document and follow the instructions for requesting access to production. After you have successfully logged in to AEM, contact GDCM-support@fedex.com to receive the correct user role.
Launch Checklist
Before your page can go live, there are many steps you must take to ensure all the proper processes are followed. From offline processes, like working with the content teams to AEM steps like SEO fields and analytics tags, the launch checklist ensures you'll sail through the development and approval processes with ease.
Request Page Creation
Before you can edit and author your page, it must first be created. All U.S. partners must follow the GO! Prioritization process set forth by the G2M team.
- Submit your request via the Kapost intake form.
- Requests are reviewed by the GO! Prioritization team with other content requests.
- Once approved, the request is sent to the Content Board for approval.
- If approved by both of these channels, the Foundational GBT (Content Board) will notify the requester and submit the page for creation to GDCM on your behalf.
Edit Your Page
Once granted access, Content Authors will need to contact GDCM to request page creation within the fedex.com site structure. After creation, Content Authors will log into the Production environment to edit and update their page(s). All pages are edited from the Global Language Master level to ensure proper inheritance. Pages are created using a template. Each template is comprised of a different set of components. Components can be added and removed from the template, as desired.
