Summary Grids

To Start:

1. To create a Summary Grid, the first step is to create all of the Content components (which are later published onto a full page) that you want to be featured within the grid. Begin to create your Content components. To learn how to do this, visit the "Add Text" section.
2. Just like other Summary View components, you must enter text in the "Introduction text for summaries (Not shown in full view)" field. Typically, this introductory text is the first sentence or so of the first paragraph you'll enter in "Text and Tables." If you do not have introductory text, insert text that would be suitable for an introduction.
3. In the "Image displays in summary views" field, click the button that has folder and magnifying glass, and select the image that you want to be featured in the summary grid. This image can also be used in the full component, but then you must also attach the image in the "Image" field below "Text and tables." To learn more about images, please visit the "Images" section.
4. Once you're done entering text and images into your component, hit "Save & Close" in the home tab. Repeat steps 1-3 for each component as needed. 

1. Now that you have created or edited your Content Components, you will need to create a "List Component." Click on "Create New Component" in the Create tab.
2. Select "List" from the Schema drop down menu.
3. You will see a field called "List element," select the folder/magnifying glass button and select each of the content components that you created and/or edited and want to feature within the grid of summary views. To add components, click the green (+) underneath the field name.
4. Once your list of components is complete, hit "Save & Close."
5. Next, go to the root folder of your website. 
   • If you created new content components, first publish new pages that include these components with the "Content Full" template. Summary Grids, like Summary Views, will not work unless the component is published in full elsewhere!
   • If you edited content components to include text in the "Introduction text for summaries (Not shown in full view), also republish the pages that include these components.
6. Then insert the list you've just created onto the page that you want to include the summary grid. In the "Component template" drop down menu, you have several different grid templates to choose from. The template options include:
   • Three Grid Menu
   • Two Grid Menu
   • Summary Grid (One Column)
   • Summary Grid (Two Column)
   • Summary Grid (Three Column) 
7. When you're finished, remember to hit "Save & Close." You're now ready to publish your page.
