WHAT IS AN ASSET? repeat-alt icon
Reusable content is convenient when working with multiple pages that require the exact same information.
- Assets allow users to create and manage reusable content in one location, and then place that content on an unlimited number of pages. This allows content to be created and edited in one place, and populated automatically on all subscribing pages.
- Assets make it easy and convenient to update common content that appear across multiple pages.
- In order to insert an Asset into a page or editable region, it must first be created within Modern Campus CMS.
How to Insert an Asset
1. Click on the "Insert/Edit Asset" button on the toolbar.
2. When the pop-up box appears, select the desired asset from the list. Assets are listed alphabetically, and can be filtered using the "Filter by name" option.
3. Click Insert.
4. Once, the page is saved and/or published, the asset will appear.
NOTE: Many assets listed do not currently work in Modern Campus CMS. If there is an asset that you need, or an asset that is currently being used on your pages that does not work, submit a Web Request Form for assistance.
Assets cannot be edited in Edit Mode
Once inserted onto a page, the asset cannot be edited or viewed in "Edit Mode".
A bar with the asset's name and "cannot be shown in WYSIWYG" will appear after inserted in Edit mode.
How to Remove an Asset
Even though an asset's contents may not show up on the page itself, removing or deleting an asset is very straightforward.
1. In Edit mode, click on the Asset bar.
2. Press "delete" key.
