Assets are preconfigured global elements that are used to provide consistent information across all pages (e.g. student enrollment number), or to protect the integrity of information (e.g. a student testimonial with image). It is up to the Content Manager of each area to create any relevant Assets.

Note: Assets are only as good as how often they are used. If the content to be added to the page appears to have a global element, check the Assets to see if one is available fitting those needs. This will ensure consistency across pages when the content changes.

Creating assets

Please note: Only Content Managers (CM) have access to create and edit assets. If you're unsure of your unit's CM, please email the UCM Digital Team.

Types of Assets

  • Web Content

    1. Asset Name*
    2. Description
    3. Tags (unit name and type of asset).
      1. *Please note: When naming your assets, please use this configuration: unit name-type of asset-name of asset (i.e. main-usf-text-history; business-text-mba)
    4. Configure the asset.
    5. Select the group to whom access to edit the asset should be granted.
    6. Click Create.
    7. From the Publish drop down menu, select which action is appropriate for your permission level/workflow (Publish, Schedule, Submit for Approval, etc.).

Before the asset can be used on the pages, it will need to be published. Follow the same publication process as with pages (see Publishing Pages section).

Helpful Hint: If tagged properly, you can filter the main list of assets by your unit name. Simply enter in your unit name in the filter bar. This enables you to view only your assets.
