Page Types

✅ Filter page

Nine pages using this in total. No more of these pages should ever need to be created unless we add a new category.

The one main page will list all programs and have dropdown filter options for selecting a category and program type, along with a reset button.
The eight category specific pages have just the program type and a reset button with a link to “see all programs” that takes you to the main page.

Uses metadata from progarm pages to automate blocks with the program title and type(s) available.

Has the option to include the header image & degrees on these, but it was removed for ease of use on a phone.

✅ Program page

Intended to be a high level overview of the field where you can dig deeper into our program if you want.
Content fields can be expanded in the future, but will require IT Web Services to modify page templates as this automates the section headings.
Would like to use registrar data & add hidden metadata fields to customize the "Explore other programs" to be relevant to that specific program, not just anything in that category.

Metadata

✅ Display Name & Title: Program name. Both elements are used in different places so it’s best to make them match for now. They may change purposes in future iterations of the site.
❌ Description: Generally used for SEO, but this page is hidden from Google so it is not filled in.
✅ Program Type: Type(s) of offerings for this program of study. This content is used on the filter pages and to determine what sidebar appears. Select all that apply.
❌ Degrees Offered: Degrees available with this program (not applicable for minors). Select all that apply.
✅ Academic Interests: Categories this program fits into. Select all that apply.
❌ Exclude from search indexing?: The whole site is hidden from search indexing so this is irrelevant at the moment

Main Content

❌ Header image [File selector]: Turned off at the moment since finding 70+ relevant photos was difficult
✅ About the field [Text editor]: A short paragraph or two about the general field so students can get an idea if they want to pursue this
✅ Career options [Text editor]: Bullet list of five possible jobs/careers you could get with this degree/study/certification
✅ Get more information [Link selector]: A link to the relevant areas of study page in cnu.edu/academics/aos, which provides the catalog information & a link to the related department(s)
✅ Explore other programs [Automated]: An expanding panel list of links to the other programs with the same category tags as the current page. If a program has multiple tags, it will list all programs with either tag.

Four options, undergraduate, mat, mfina, ms. The correct one is automatically added based on the program metadata. Includes the following elements:

✅ How to apply: uses the deadlines block to fill in information and has a link to relevant how to apply information on cnu.edu/admission
❌ Tuition: uses the tuition block in _source-data to output the tuition info for either undergraduate or graduate based on selection in program sidebar blocks in _source-data

❌ Standard page

Not in use
Page with two column template

❌ Layered page

Not in use
Intended for landing page, layered content to drive you further in the site

How to…

Add a program

Go to Add Content
Select new academic program page
Name the page the program name using - instead of spaces
Enter the program name in the Display Name and Title fields
Skip the description field for the time being
Select all applicable program types
Select all applicable degrees offered (not used at this time, but still good to have in case)
Select all applicable academic interests. These are the categories used to populate the filter pages
Ignore “Exclude from search indexing?”
In the About the program text editor

Use CMD + Shift + V to paste without formatting the brief description.
Style that content as a paragraph (make sure the space at the bottom of the text editor is showing a “p” and not “span” or “div”)

In the Career options text editor

Use CMD + Shift + V to paste without formatting the job titles.
Style that content as a bullet list (should be able to tell by looking but you can also check that the space at the bottom of the text editor is showing a “ul >> li”)
