Signing In and the Catalogue Screen

Sign in to miraCMS and find your way around the catalogue

2.1 Signing in

Open the link to cms.mirateq.com that miraTEQ sent you. A phone works as well as a computer.

1. Enter your username and your password
2. Press “Sign in”
3. If two-factor protection is on for your login, miraCMS asks for the six-digit code from your authenticator app. Type it and press “Confirm”. No phone at hand? Type one of your recovery codes instead (Chapter 7.3)

The link from miraTEQ opens the sign-in page in the language of your website. Opened without that link, the page can appear in German the very first time: the first field is the username, the second the password, and the button below them signs you in. Right after signing in, miraCMS switches to the language of your login. If it picks the wrong one, change it under Account & security (Chapter 7.1). The choice stays with your login, on every device.

Forgot your password?

miraCMS has no “forgot password” button. Write to us and we set a new one for you.

2.2 Where you land

Which screen opens first depends on what your login may do:

• With Edit texts, you land in the text editor on your homepage (Chapter 9).
• If you only look after the catalogue, you land in the catalogue.

From the catalogue, “← Project” at the top left leads to the preview of your website. On websites with a catalogue, “Catalogues” in the top bar of the text editor leads back.

2.3 The catalogue screen

Part of the screen	What it does
Title and number of entries	The name of your catalogue and how many entries it holds
“Website is up to date”	Everything you saved is live. When something is not, the green “Publish” button appears here instead (Chapter 6)
“+ New entry”	Opens the form for a new entry (Chapter 3)
Search field	Finds entries by their name
List or cards	The two small buttons next to the search switch between a compact list and cards with pictures
Category bar on the left	Your categories, each with the number of its entries. A click shows only that category. Its heading depends on your website, a catalogue of product documents might call it “Manufacturer”

On the phone

The catalogue works on a phone too, handy for fixing a price on the spot. On a small screen, the “Website is up to date” note is hidden. The green “Publish” button still appears as soon as something is waiting.

2.4 Signing out

Your name sits at the top right. Click it and choose “Sign out”. Do this in particular on a computer that others use too.
