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!

titleHow do I add a link to a course code?

Courses can be linked to a pop-up course bubble to provide a quick snapshot of the course name and details. This can be done by typing the course subject code and number, then highlight the course and click the “pancake” button. By doing so, this course will be linked to the course bubble which will populate with the  current course information from CIM for Courses. In addition, it allows the site admin to keep track of any mentioning of courses that have been inactivated. If the course becomes inactive, it will be highlighted in a red box. In addition, an error message will be shared with the site administration so the course can be removed or replaced in the catalog content.

titleHow do I edit a roadmap?

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 learn more about editing a roadmap, click hereA text anchor will allow you to "jump" down to a designated area on your page. This is often used on pages with a lot of content so it's easier to navigate. You can also add a "toggle" header to expand and collapse information (see next question for those instructions).

To add your anchor:

  1. Place the cursor where an anchor should be added and click the Anchor button (do not highlight the text, just have the cursor in front of the text that should have the anchor)
  2. Give the anchor a name
    • Try to give it one that relates to the content so users know which anchor to link to when a link is created
    • Do not use spaces
    • Only use _ and - if you need to use special characters
  3. Click OK
  4. Now you can link it using the link button (Generally at the top of the page, you will type the text you want – I recommend the text of the header; highlight it; insert the link)

titleHow do I add an expandable/collapsible header?
These expandable/collapsible text headers are called "Toggles". They can be created via the "Styles" section in the editing toolbar. The expandable section will be all text and content added below the toggle header until a new header is added. Click here to watch a video tutorial on how to add a toggle header.

titleWhy can't I edit some of the text on my page?
Most catalog pages have sections we call "shared content" or content that is used on multiple pages but edited in one spot. For example, all of the pages for majors have a section titled "Advisement". This text is owned by Academic Affairs and the Griff Center and appears on the major pages in a gray box. This means we have created this shared text and inserted it on the applicable pages. We then have the ability to edit that content in one spot and apply the edits to all pages utilizing the shared content. If you have an edit for an existing shared content section but do not have access to make the edit, please contact Academic Affairs. In addition, please contact Academic Affairs if you'd like to add shared content to your pages.
