Building relationships ... between your webpages

From Tuesday 16th December you will notice slight changes to your generic templates. When you edit a generic page you will see that we have included a section for related links and documents. This means that you can present your visitors with additional pages and documents you feel are relevant to the page.

There is nothing you need to do. If you have already used the existing user templates to create links to other Canterbury Christ Church University pages and documents, we will transfer these for you into the new format.

The Web Team has created a training manual to explain how to use this new facility, and this is available on the CMSAuthors share.

The reason why we have implemented this change is that we want to improve the way content is managed and connected on the web. By using this new feature it will be easier for you to manage links across your sites. Just by adding a link onto PAGE 1, pointing at PAGE 2 it will automatically create a return link on PAGE 2. It will also automatically remove links to pages and documents that have been deleted from the CMS.

We hope that you will find this new addition helpful and easy to use.

If you have any questions, or comments, please do not hesitate to contact the Web Team or leave a comment.
