An overview of the WYSIWYG buttons:
WYSIWYG Buttons
  • Preview – allows you to see WYSIWYG contents in a new window
  • Template – select a template for text and/or a picture

  • Bottom Row – more formatting tools, font, color, size, etc.

    Hyperlinks in a WYSIWYG

  1. When in a WYSIWYG (the fancy boxes that contain the text, shown below), highlight the text or picture you would like to link.
    Link Button in WYSIWYG
  2. Select the Hyperlink button circled above.
  3. The hyperlink box will appear, copy and paste the URL that you want the selected text to link to. TIP: In another tab, navigate to the page you wish to link to, highlight the URL in the address bar and copy it. Then paste it in the circled box below.
    Link URL in WYSIWYG
  4. Before clicking OK, click on the tab that is labeled Target at the top of the hyperlink box.  You have a few options to select from the dropdown menu. Here are the two most common:
    1. <not set> which means the user will navigate straight to the link, without opening a new tab or window. They will need to use their back button to navigate back to this page.
    2. New Window (_blank). When a visitor clicks on the link the internet browser will open a new window or tab, keeping your site open in the current page. To browse back, a user would simply close the new tab.
      Link Target
  5. Click OK to save the hyperlink to the PDF. If you hyperlinked text, the text should now be underlined and possibly a different color (depending on your browser).
  6. When you are done entering all other information on the page, save your changes. TIP: Always go to the “live” page that you just put a hyperlink into and test it to be sure the text was linked correctly.

   Adding a Picture & Alternative Text in a WYSIWYG

  1. When in a WYSIWYG, put the cursor where you would like the picture to appear.
  2. Select the Image button in the WYSIWYG buttons, shown below.

     
  3. Click Browse Server. If the picture you would like is already in one of these folders, simply double click the image you want.
  4. If not, click Upload.

  6. Once you have selected the file from your computer, click Upload. The file will appear in whatever folder you are in. You can move it by dragging and dropping it into another folder.
  7. When the file is uploaded, double click it.
  8. You can edit the size of an image, this goes by pixels. Be sure to keep the image “locked” if you want it to stay proportional (make sure the lock icon is locked)
    Lock Image Proportions
  9. You can also add Alternative Text to your images. Alternative Text is used for SEO purposes. When search engines crawl your site, they can only read text. Adding Alternative Text to your images allows the crawler to be able to “see” what the image is through a description. A good “Alt Text” description would be short sentence briefly describing the picture.
    (See the example below in the image properties panel.)
    Add Image ALT Text in Image Properties Panel
For example; Alt Text for this image reads: “Green knit beanie with layered clothing and trench coat jacket.” The woman and the cellphone were not mentioned because the article was about hats – so the hat is the most important piece of the picture and the woman’s style was second.
  1. Click OK to save your image.
  2. When you are done entering all other information on the page, save your changes. TIP: Always go to the “live” page to check your changes.

  3. Three choices are available: ‘Share this video’, ‘Embed’, and ‘Email’. Click Embed.
  4. A text box with coding should come up ready for you to select. BEFORE you do so, decide if you want suggested videos to show up after your video is finished (our recommendation is to turn this feature OFF, because you cannot control the videos YouTube suggests, and sometimes they are irrelevant and inappropriate for your site).
    1. To turn OFF the suggested videos, uncheck the checkbox next to ‘Show suggested videos when the video finishes’, located under the textbox beneath the ‘Video size’ choices. When you click this, you should see slight changes in the code offered in the textbox.
    2. You can also select the size you want your video to be from the Video Size dropdown menu. Again, you will see slight changes here to the code provided.

  14. Click Save Changes.
  15. Browse to the page on your live site to test the video. Be sure to watch it all of the way through to see if the suggested videos show up or if the video just starts over. Depending on what you chose here the video should behave as such.

  3. To add a user click on the gray add user button in the upper right-hand corner.
  4. Fill out the User Information Form. A couple of key fields:
    1. Department* – choose which department you want the user to join.
    2. Email* – this will be the persons login ID.
    3. Password* – Set this to something generic such as Welcome1, or click Auto Generate to produce a password. Make sure you email the user their password information! (discussed later)
    4. Require user to change their password on next sign on – check this box if you want to allow the user to change their password—they will be prompted when they first log on.
    5. User Access – set the user access level, each level has a description beside it.
    6. Email this user their account information – check this box to make sure the user is delivered their login and password. Email is sent upon saving the user.
  5. Click Add User / Save User when finished.

    Add / Edit User Access Levels

  1. Hover over Account Mgmt and click User Access.
  2. You may set up a new user access level by clicking Add a New User Access button in the upper right-hand corner.
  3. Fill out the Name, Type, Description, and choose which modules you would like the user level to have access to. These essentially are the tabs in the navigation bar in the back end. So if you would like an employee to only have access to the reports, choose all of the reports and nothing else. When that user logs in all they will see for their tab options are all of the reports.
  4. Editing a user access level is the same, just click edit next to the user level you wish to edit.
  5. When finished, click Save Changes.

    Export Users

  1. Hover over Account Mgmt and click User Export.
  2. Select which department(s) you would like to export as well as the field(s) you would like in the file.
  3. Click Export Users. An Excel file will be produced with your information.

    Import Users

Hover over Account Mgmt and click User Import. Use this import tool one of two ways:
 

QUICK ENTRY

  1. You can use the Quick Entry method on the top half of this page, by typing in the required fields, then selecting the Department, Access Level, and/or Virtual Group. After each user has had their fields populated, click Submit and enter the next user’s information.
     

    CSV IMPORT

  2. For bulk imports, you can upload a properly formatted .CSV file. This process requires a few extra steps, but it's much quicker to import multiple users at once.
     
    1. Download the CSV Import Template (#1 shown below).
      NOTE: The file that you are going to import must match the fields in this template or else the import will not work.


       
    2. Copy/paste or type your information into this template.
      NOTE: You must leave the headers the way they are shown in this document. However, not all of the fields must be populated.
       
  3. The import document will need to at least have either an email address or a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for each existing user, or the import will skip modifying that user as it cannot identify who the user is.
    NOTE: The GUID comes from exporting the users out of the website, see above Export Users.

    Here is how it works:
     
    1. The import will first check to see if a GUID exists for the user:
       
      1. If it does find a matching GUID, it will modify the matched user.
        NOTE: If an email is provided and the email matches a different user's email, the system skips the user without making any modifications as two users may not have the same email address in the system.
         
      2. If it does not find a matching GUID, the import will skip over that user.
         
    2. If no GUID is provided, the import will then check for an email address:
       
      1. If it does find a matching email, it will modify the matched user.
         
      2. If it does not find a matching email, the system will create a new user with that email address. 
         
    3. If no GUID or email is provided, the import will skip over that user. A user cannot exist in the system without an email address.
       
  4. The spreadsheet used for the import document can either wipe out data for users or not change the data for users. There is a setting to chose the behavior you wish to execute: 'Check this box to have all blank fields from the CSV clear out any existing data for the specified user fields. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE.'

    WARNING: If the setting to 'clear out existing data' is checked ON, and there are columns in the import document with BLANK FIELDS, the import WILL WIPE OUT DATA that is currently saved for the users for those fields.
     
  5. Save the file on your computer.
     
  6. Upload the saved file by clicking Choose File (#2), locating the .CSV file on your computer and double-clicking on it.

    CVS Import Optons
     
  7. Click Import User Emails.
