How to Access[edit]

Navigate to the the Banner Category Manager. To add a new Banner Category, click on the "New" icon in the toolbar. To edit an existing Banner Category, click on the Category's Name, or check the Category's checkbox and press the "Edit" icon in the toolbar.

Description[edit]

This is where you add a new Banner Category or edit an existing one. Note that you need to create at least one Banner Category before you can create a Banner. Also, Banner Categories are separate from other types of Categories, such as those for Articles, Contacts, and News Feeds.

Note that the screen for adding and editing Banner Categories is the same screen used to create Article Categories. However, for Banner Categories, the only required field is the Title. Published, Section, Category Order, and Access Level are not used. An Image and Description may be entered, but they are not displayed on the web site.

  • Published. This field is not used for Banner Categories.
  • Section. This displays 'N/A' for not applicable, since Sections are not used for Banners.
  • Category Order. This field is not used for Banner Categories.
  • Access Level. This field is not used for Banner Categories.
  • Image. Image for this Page. Image must be located in the folder "images/stories". You will not normally use an Image for a Banner Category, since it will not display on the page.

  • Save. Save it and return to editing the menu details.
  • Apply. Save it, but stay in the same screen. If you have been working on a screen for a long time and don't want to risk losing your work, pressing Apply saves your work and lets you continue working. If, for example, you lost your Internet connection, your work will be saved up this point.
  • Close. Return to the previous screen without saving your work. If you press Close while adding a new item, this new item will not be created. If you were modifying an existing item, the modifications will not be saved.
  • Help. Opens this Help Screen.
