1 Office of Digital Communications S.W. 8 th Street - PC 421 Miami, Florida digicomm@fiu.edu Cascade User Guide Student Affairs Use your FIU Username and Password to login at THE BASICS HIERARCHY OVERVIEW The site navigation is broken down into four main hubs, Get Involved, Life at FIU, Student Success, and Wellness. These individual hubs are represented as folders in Cascade and can be seen on the left-hand navigation. Clicking on the + button will expand the folder and reveal its respective sections and files. Each hub is made up of sections that will have children pages and possibly sub-sections of children pages. This depends on the site s content and depth. Inside each of these folders is an assets folder and an index page. The assets folder contains any file (such as images, PDFs, etc.) that will be shown on the index page in the same folder. Ensure that you place all assets for the page in question within its relative _assets folder. Index is the name of the page pertaining to the section you are in. For example, Figure 1 shows an expanded Life at FIU hub folder with an _assets folder and an index page. The _assets folder contains two image files that are used by this section. Figure 1: Folder Hierarchy Clicking on the index page will present you with a preview of what that section will look like. You ll be able to navigate the site through this window as well.

Click + on the Main Content area and choose a Content Type of accordion. 2. (Optional) Enter a Heading to the accordion 3. Enter Sub-heading for each tab in the accordion 4.

Enter button text, (be descriptive and concise) 4. Link internally to another page or file, or link to an external website 9

10 Tip - Button text should tell the user to accomplish a specific task related to your content. Example: Let s say your content has the need for a button that sends users to another website to learn about some helpful techniques to relieve stress while they prepare mentally to take an important exam during finals week. The button text should read something like Learn Stress Relief Techniques. Users immediately know the action for this new button. Buttons that only say click here or learn more do not provide context to users and some may not understand the task you are asking of them. Also, a user using a screen reader will not understand what those generalized buttons mean CONTACT OPTIONS (only applicable to hub-page-content template) Four options are available when updating contact information on the hub-page-content template 1. Override Contact Info? a. Prevents the current page from repeating the parent page contact information and allows you to enter new contact information in a WYSIWYG. Default is to repeat for user consistency. 2. Show CTA Box? a. This will display a Call To Action button area uniquely designed for Student Affairs. Options include a button, headline and paragraph text. 3. Show Sign Up Form? a. This displays a content area where you can insert a form on the sidebar near the contact information. 4. Display feeds from: a. You can choose to display news, social and calendar feeds from the previous parent page or to override feeds and display unique feeds on this page. 10

11 3 THINGS TO REMEMBER Write content for your users. Do not write for academic sake and do not copy and paste academic language unless absolutely required per regulation or statute. Write in a common language as if you were having a discussion with students on campus, and write at a level that is considered to be layman's terms for the topic in question. Typically 8 th grade reading level. Always aim to be concise. Do not use ALL CAPS on websites. If there is content that should be called out from the rest of the page, use buttons to create a call to action: ( e.g. FREE ONLINE ASSESSMENT) Stay away from click here as your call to action. This is an old style of web writing that is quickly disappearing. Avoiding this language also keeps writing concise. If you need to add a link, simply hyperlink descriptive text. (e.g. Click here to register for the 2016 workshop vs. Register for 2016 workshop). Contact information format: o Name of department paragraph text bold o Street Address paragraph text o Room number paragraph text o Phone number - paragraph text o (be sure to hyperlink) - paragraph text o Hours H4 (If you have facilities with different hours, add them by facility under Hours ; e.g. Fitness Center; Aquatic Center) H5 o Hours should be listed as number and AM or PM; do not add :00 after hours again, be concise! paragraph text The order of headlines on a page are as such: ( e.g. <h2>heading Text</h2> ) o Page title H1 (predetermined by page Display Name on index) Page content section heading H2 Page content section sub-heading H3 o Page content sub-heading sub-section H4 Page content section heading H2 Page content section sub-heading H3 o Page content sub-heading sub-section H4 repeat Login to cascade with your FIU Username and Password at Every page of your site is housed within a folder (ex: about-us) and every page will always be called index hence the URL appearing as You will always create a folder with children _assets and index for every page on the website. Always check the box that says unpublish content (or files/assets) when you are deleting, moving or renaming a file; otherwise the file will remain on the server/live site. Your uploaded file should be in the closest size possible to the size you want it to appear on your page. Do not upload huge images to Cascade and then shrink them. This causes your site to load slower and does not reduce the file s size. Make sure you keep the file extension when giving your file a System Name (ex: image.jpg or document.doc or brochure.pdf) Files will not load if this is removed. 11

12 IF SOMETHING IS LIVE IN CASCADE BUT NOT LIVE ON THE WEB: REFRESH YOUR BROWSER PAGE or MAKE SURE YOU PUBLISHED THE TOPMOST FOLDER OF WHATEVER PAGE YOU CHANGED, OR SENT THE PAGE Send to Workflow FOR REVIEW PUBLISHING REMINDER You ll need to publish every item you add or edit in order for the live website to update. Make sure to Send to Workflow every single item, page, file, folder and section you wish to make live. WARNING ON DELETING/MOVING/RENAMING FILES IN CASCADE When you go to delete, move or rename a file, be sure to check the Unpublish box or else the file with not change on the server (and live site) and it will cause problems. Fixing this issue is not considered part of your maintenance package and should it require significant time and effort to repair, you may be charged a per hour fee. Should you encounter an issue related to this, please contact Digital Communications at digicomm@fiu.edu. 4 - USEFUL RESOURCES 1. Learn HTML at w3schools Edit photos at Pixlr - a. or Purchase Photoshop Create an FIU web form Add events to FIU calendar
