How to configure your Publication site details

Configure the Publication site details (this meta data will be made available to the public through the API) in uWaterloo Publication Settings:

  1. Configure site details by selecting uWaterloo Publication Settings from the Administration bar.

  2. The Name field is filled in by default and does not need to be edited.

  3. The place-text in the Description field will need to be replaced with a brief description of the Publication.

  5. Enter the publication Type. This field is completed by default but can be edited.

  6. Select the Current Issue of the Publication (start typing the current issue and then click on the auto-complete to select it).

Note: The Publication Issue must first be created in Vocabularies.

Note: Publication articles must be tagged with this Current Issue in order to be displayed on the home page.

  1. Enter the Faculty or Department name of the area producing the Publication. Note: This name will display in the Footer if no faculty or department logo is uploaded, and will link to the faculty or department main site. If a logo is uploaded, this name becomes the alt-text of the logo image.

    1. Faculty or department name in footer:

  2. Enter the Link to Main Site. Note: The faculty or department name or logo will link to this URL.
