Snippets, Assets, and Components

Snippets, Components and Assets are types of reusable content in Modern Campus CMS. It can be placed into the main WYSIWYG sections using the WYSIWYG Toolbar (section 3.6). Once placed, the user will be able to add in their own content or take advantage of pre-made content that will be automatically styled for great looking pages easily and quickly. These content types are created centrally by designers and programmers and then shared to the campus community. If you find that there is a common task, information block or layout that is being frequently reused, it might be possible to make it into one of these design elements.

When populating content into the component form, keep in mind:

Not all fields are required, optional fields will be labeled.
The image chooser will be the same as any other image insertion process.
Be sure to check each setting. Some, like the checkbox for “add space above and below a Split Image Overflow,” are only used if the overflow style has been selected.

After you click SAVE, the finished component can now be previewed.
