  • Summary – shows on the list view / category pages

  • Full Text – shows on the resource detail view

  • Categories – determines where resource can be found

• Optional:

  • Document attachment(s) – must be ADA compliant

Steps

1. Login to the website

2. Go to the Resource Library

3. Click the “Add Article” button on the toolbar below the search

4. On the Add Article screen, enter your resource’s essential information:

   1. Title → Title box

   2. Summary → Summary box

   3. Full text → Content box (below the blue heading “Article Detail Type”)

   4. Check the boxes for the categories you would like the resource to display in. You can choose more than one if needed.

5. If you are adding a PDF, Word document, or other downloadable file:

   1. Locate the Documents box (blue heading) about ¾ of the way down the page

   2. Drag and drop your document(s) onto the box or click the “Select Documents” button

   3. Click the “Upload” button

   4. Edit the document title and (optional) description for each document:

      1. Click the pencil icon next to the document

      2. Change the title to something more user friendly than the file name (generally, this is just fixing capitalization and removing dashes/underscores)

      3. You can also add a brief description, but this is rarely needed.

      4. Click the save button

      5. The resource library template automatically adds the file extension (pdf, docx, etc) after the resource title so users know what they’ll be downloading.

6. Click the green “Save and View” button at the bottom of the Add Article screen.

7. Review your published resource and make any corrections needed.
