Slugs

When selecting slugs, choose intuitive, simple, and short labels, as this will help with the accessibility of your site.

 

Navigation Image

Ensure that your navigation image's background is transparent and that the image is cropped to solely include the navigation image and no negative space. This allows the Catalog builder to properly size the navigation image to the header.

 

Headers and Org Structure

Be intentional with your use of H1 headers and subsequent organizational structures for your pages as your header structure, paired with how your Sidebar-navigation is set up. This will guide how your auto-generated PDF catalog will organize its Table of Contents.

 

Default Catalog

Setting your primary catalog as your default catalog in the "Catalogs" tab of your website settings will let you not have to worry about setting the catalog scope every time you edit your navigation or pages. 

 

Images

When using the WYSIWYG editor with images, ensure you use the preview function to see how it will appear on a webpage. The editor's size is based on the size of the screen and how zoomed in one is; it's not helpful when considering fit. As a rule of thumb, use images that are at least 1000px wide (sample shown below).

 

 

Email Link

If you would like to include an email link in a WYSIWYG field / Page editor, use the mailto: prefix in the inserted link.

 

Public Catalog Default Term Logic

Overview

The public catalog supports the Course Schedule card, which will default to display the "Current Term" as it is defined in scheduling.

 

 

Caveat

PATH: Catalog > Settings > Terms


If the term is not set as public on the Terms page (shown below), then there will be no default term in the public catalog course schedule card.
