Instructions on Creating New Web Pages

Once logged in to edit the site, you can create a new web page by clicking Add content at the upper left of the page. On the Add content page, select the type of content you want to create (e.g. Page, Event, News etc). The content type's editorial template will then display. The template provides some instructions, and these pages are designed to supplement that support and help you create content.

When adding content, limit the use of links or buttons that open new windows or tabs. New windows and tabs can be disorienting for people, especially people who have difficulty perceiving visual content. View relevant accessibility guidelines.

Filters

About halfway down the editorial template, the FILTERS section presents check boxes you can use to add tags to pages relating to the relevant Service, Student type, Local/International and Faculty.

The Current Student website is a very large website and the purpose of these filters is to help students find and filter information that is uniquely related to them.

Use the filters sparingly, and only if they uniquely relate to the web page you are creating. If you are creating a general page for all students, do not click every filter, as this will undermine their purpose.

Administrative Group

The Administrative Group drop-down selection list (located near bottom of template) enables your department to retain editorial control of the web page. To retain control, change the setting from the default Global access to the setting for your department.

Saving changes

Once you have finished editing the content, save your changes by clicking Save at the bottom of page.

Your edits will also need to be published before they display on the Current Student website.
