Basic Template

Starting in Spring 2021 we began transitioning Cascade websites to use the new Basic Template.

Cascade uses templates for creating pages and our original setup of cascade used a separate template for each page layout (for example: Second Level Page, Second Level Page – faq, Second Level Page – stafflist….)

The Basic Template contains multiple components (layouts), so there is no longer a need to use a separate template for each type of webpage. With the Basic Template you can create a typical content page or you can create a page with an opening paragraph, an faq and a video.

  • Components can be used in any order
  • Components can be used multiple times.
  • Each component is added to the page by adding a new row and selecting the type of component.
  • To add a row:
    • press the green plus sign to the right of the Row section
    • use the radio buttons to select the component
    • the edit area will automatically populate with the fields needed for the selected component
