There are two main steps to making a campus building page: building the taxonomy and making the page. Step 1: Campus building taxonomy Taxonomy is the list of terms (tags) visitors use to filter your campus building pages. There are two taxonomies used for the campus buildings pages: “Facility Features” and “Department”. Follow these instructions to create new taxonomy terms:
Step 2: make the campus buildings page
Form fields Name: The actual name of the building. There is a separate section for the building code, so this should be the actual name (such as "Richard and Maurine Neuberger Center"). Address: This appears above the map. Hint: This displays the exact text you enter, so plan ahead of time how you want addresses to appear (just street address vs. street, city vs street, city, state, etc). Image: Select Add Media to select an image to add. Review the images documentation for more information. Building Location: In the Enter a location text box, start typing an address. Keep typing until the correct one appears, then select that address. About the Building: This is a basic text entry field with "About the Building" as a visible title. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area. Building Occupants: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Occupants" as a visible title. The planned design just listed occupants with each one linked to the department's site. It will likely duplicate the Campus Building - Department taxonomy for this page. Building Features: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Features" as a visible title. The content will be similar to the Campus Building - Facility Features taxonomy for this page. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area and how descriptive you would like to be. Building Maps: These are PDFs of floorplans and other relevant internal maps. You can add more than one (once you add one, the option to add another appears). Hint: The title of the uploaded document is what displays for visitors. As such, you want to make sure the title of the uploaded document is user-friendly (i.e. Floorplan-SMSU is better than SMSU-All Plans_6). Building Details: This is a basic text entry field with "Building Details" as a visible title. Plan ahead of time what kind of content you want in this area. Building Code: The actual building code (i.e. RMNC). This is used in the search and filtering area; it is not visible on the page itself. Department: This pulls from the Campus Building - Department taxonomy. Start typing a taxonomy term (it has to have already been made), and a list of options will appear. This does not actually display on the page itself, it's only used in search and filtering. Facility Features: This pulls from the Campus Building - Facility Features taxonomy. Start typing a taxonomy term (it has to have already been made), and a list of options will appear. This does not actually display on the page itself, it's only used in search and filtering. |

Since each item is associated with its respective group, you have to make your groups before you make your items. To make your group:

Each item should have one or more tags associated with it. This is separate from the groups in that these tags are topical and used to help visitors find projects from different groups that have similar topics. This is an area where you’ll want to consider strategy. Tags should not be so granular in topic that only one or two items will apply to them. Rather, you’ll want general tags that many items can be associated with. Suggestions for terms include: “Piano”, “Mixed Media”, “Award Winners”, or “Senior Projects”.
