Page Comparison

To add a link, highlight the linkable text and select the link button in the page editor menu. A popup menu will then appear where you can paste the link. There are 3 types of links to add to your content

1. External links—things outside the catalog, like canisius.edu, require the full URL to be pasted in and the “open in new window” to be checked off
2. Internal links—these live within the catalog and need to be relative links, which means you do not paste in the full URL. The beginning of the catalog URL changes once the catalog goes live. Therefore, you should only include the part of the URL after “catalog.canisius.edu”.
   1. Correct relative link: “/undergraduate/ college-arts-sciences/biology/”
   2. Incorrect relative link: https://catalog.canisius.edu/undergraduate/college-arts-sciences/biology/
3. Email address—if you want your link to open up an email type “mailto:” followed by the email address. Click here to watch video.
   
   1. For example: mailto:smith@canisius.edu
   2. Note, there are no spaces!

Most majors have existing roadmaps created. To edit, go to the roadmap tab and click “Edit Roadmap” to begin. Within that popup menu, you’ll see the roadmap tables are in blue boxes. To edit, double click within that blue box and a popup menu will appear. From this window, courses can be added or removed, comments can be edited, or courses can be moved around. To add a course, you can either enter the code via the “Quick Add” field or search for the course from the drop down menu and click the “>>” button to move it over to the applicable Year and Term. To remove a course, highlight it and click the “<<” button. You can also move courses up and down, add comments, course sequence, an “or” class, or footnote. The hours will not be displayed in the roadmap. In addition, you can adjust the formatting for each line entry with an indent or creating area headers. Indents are commonly used when you want to show multiple options in a term. For example, you can add a comment entry “select one of the following” and then list 3 or more courses below it all indented.

To create a new course:

1. Click on the green “Propose New Course” button.
   1. Note that when you are in the propose new course screen, you can choose “Propose New from Existing,” which is great if you are creating graduate and undergraduate versions of a course or if you are creating a special version of a special topics course.
2. Any of the red boxes must be filled out before you can submit, however, you can save your work and return at a later time.
3. You should check the course numbers that are currently being used to pick a number that is unique.
4. Complete the form. All red fields are required.
   
   1. Most fields are self-explanatory, however, if you need additional assistance refer to the CIM for Courses Cheat Sheet or watch this tutorial video.
