Editing Catalog Programs: Bottom Content/Requirement Notes/Credit Totals

Bottom Content:

Similar to Narrative/Non-Academic pages, Program parent items have an editor for Content and also an editor for Bottom Content.

The Bottom Content section showing a large text box for adding footnote content, with options for Show editor, Suggest fix, and Edit HTML.

Text placed within Content will show under the Title of the item, while Bottom Content will appear at the bottom of all the nested subitems. Degree, Certificate, Minor, Narrative with Course Table, and the Degree Requirements Folders all have a section for Bottom Content. If there is more than one Degree Requirements Folder the Bottom Content will appear after the nested Requirements Lists, but before the next Degree Requirements Folder.

Bottom Content can be edited using the Rich Text Editor (see Editing Content in the Rich Text Editor).

Requirement Note:

The Requirement Note field is the bottom content field for the Requirement List and is typically used to reference/note something in the course table.

Requirement Notes are associated with Requirements Lists and will appear immediately after the course table. Unlike Bottom Content if another Requirement List is nested under, the content will appear after the immediate course table of the item and not after all of the nested Requirement Lists. This note is almost always styled in italics.

Location in Content Tree:

The Requirement Note section showing the content tree on the left with the Required Core Courses (30 Credits) item selected, and the Requirement Note box on the right containing 'ART 100: every semester,' with options for Show editor, Suggest fix, and Edit HTML.

Previewed Page:

The Program Requirements page showing the Required Core Courses list, with a note line 'ART 100: every semester' appearing directly under the last core course and above the Required Supporting Courses section.

Credit Totals:

Each template type that makes up the total program structure within the content tree, have a textbox for total credits. These fields only require numbers to be entered and will automatically bring in text. Credit totals can be added to each item type in the program and act in a similar way to bottom content or requirements notes for Programs, Degree Requirement Folders, and Requirements Lists, as in they will appear at the bottom of the item that they are entered into.

Location in Content Tree:

The Course Requirements item in the content tree selected, and the settings panel on the right showing Minimum Credit Hours set to 58 and Maximum Credit Hours set to 67.

Previewed Page:

The Art Therapy, B.A. program page showing total credit‑hour summaries across sections. The General Education total shows 46, the Piedmont College Requirement shows 1, the Art Therapy Major shows 58–67, and the Art Foundations subsection shows 15.

Always “Accept” your changes with the Accept button on the lower right hand corner of the rich text editor. And Save your changes with the Save button in the upper left hand corner of your tool ribbon. If you navigate away from the item you have been editing, the system will alert you to save your work.

Note that this will not show on the live site until it is formally approved and published by an admin.

The item being edited is available for editing until submitted through workflow.
