Configuration

Shows the teaser text below the image. - Display Dept
Shows all of the departments associated with this news. this may be on for pages that have news for multiple departments, however be warned it will get long if a news article is tagged for many departments. - Background
by default this has a white background. However there are instances on pages where this may be in the middle of the page and it’s helpful to separate it from the item above or below it. in those cases we have 5 background options that are all light grey in tone. (Diagonal line, dot, grid, plus, solid grey) - Block Wrapper
used by marketing to apply custom CSS styles if needed. Used sparingly. - Anchor ID
You may assign this block a name, it will allow you to link to this block on the page with an anchor tag. (engineering.wisc.edu/pagename#AnchorID) If you use this please use a name that will be unique like cbe-news, also it is case sensitive and should not use spaces.

Post – Listing with Facets
These blocks are used to show large numbers of posts items on a page. There are two main ways to show them, as a grid these are a more visual card approach and the other is list where there is an image to the right and text about the news item on the left.
Introduction
Same as intro section for other blocks. Likely won’t be using the introduction section for this block.
Configuration
- Layout
Choose between a list view, and a grid view. List is most often used. - Filter by Category
Pre-filters what is shown by category - Filter by Tag
Pre-filters what is shown by tag - Filter by Dept
Pre-filters by department - Filter by Focus Area
Pre-filters by focus area - Posts per page
for list we are using 10, on the rare occasion we use grid we use 3. It’s not recommended to use -1 it’s likely there will be too many news items for the page. - Enable Paging
Allows the user to click a button to see more of the results, when not checked they are limited to the number of posts when loaded. - Enable Filtering
Adds a box to the left of the results and lets people filter by the options you select. (Category, Dept, Focus Area) - Display image
used to show the featured image from the post/blog article. It’s encouraged to keep this checked. - Display Excerpt
Shows the teaser text below the image. - Display Dept
Shows all of the departments associated with this post/blog. this may be on for pages that have news for multiple departments, however be warned it will get long if a news article is tagged for many departments.
Title – example using list format
This example is using the list format, along with the whole list being pre-filtered by the category Awards. Note, when you pre-filter at the block level, if there are any filterable items that have 0 results they will not be included in the filtering list.
