Creating a new Contact Page
To create a new personnel contact, login and hover your cursor over “My
Workbench”, then hover over “Create content” in the drop menu which will
display a fly-out menu with several options. Click “Contact” from this fly-out
menu.
This will bring you to a screen similar to the view shown below:
We will use Arlene Laudrum (SRK Yellowknife) as an example of how to create a
contact page.
Name
Enter the contact’s first and last name in the “Name” field.
Upload contact’s bio photo
Before you upload, use an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or
Corel Paint Shop Pro to crop and scale the image to 97 pixels W x 133 pixels H
and save it to your hard drive. It’s best practice to organize your images in folder
sets so you can locate them quickly when you’re ready to upload them. Please
read the document “Image-prep.doc” for more details on image preparation for
web pages.
Click the “Browse” button which will open a new window, allowing you to navigate
to the image on your hard drive. The specifics will vary depending on your
network connections and folder structure, but the window will look something like
this:
Click “Open” in the lower right corner, which will close the Upload window and
return you to the editor. You’ll see the path to your image displayed in the text
field to the left of the Browse button. Click “Upload”. Your image is now uploaded
to the web server and the editor window will automatically refresh, displaying the
image you just selected and uploaded:
Personal Information
Add the rest of the contact’s personal information: “Title”, “Designation” (if
applicable, for instance “P.Eng”) and “Email”.
Next, fill in the “Bio” text. Please see the document “Creating-Basic-pages.doc”
for detailed instruction on how to paste from Microsoft Word or from another web
page.
Selecting the Office
To select the correct office address for your contact page, click the arrow and
scroll to the primary office associated with this contact.
Set the Discipline
The Discipline field allows you to set the area of expertise for each person. This
setting determines where the link to this person’s Contact page appears on the
“Who We Are / Our People” page on each SRK regional website. To set this,
scroll through the available options in the Discipline menu that you see below.
Click on the appropriate selection, which will hi-lite the selection in blue as you
see below.
If the person has multiple areas of expertise, you can click your first selection,
then hold down the shift key and click additional selections. If you have made an
incorrect selection, release the shift key and click your original selection. Then
hold down the shift key and make the additional selections.
This link is now available on the “Our People” page of your website as you see
below.
Save
You’re done! Click the “Save” button in the lower left corner of this window and
your browser window will refresh, displaying the new Contact page.
