There are several assets created and maintained by University Marketing and Communications, described below, that can be used on your website. As the data included in these assets changes, we will update them and the updated information will automatically update on any pages where the asset is used. Check back as this list gets updated as new assets are added. Suggestions for new assets can be sent to webmaster@mtu.edu. These assets will all begin with [Global].
Assets are pieces of content that are saved in a central location that can be used on multiple pages or on multiple sites. They should be used when you have identical bits of content on more than one page. If the asset content is changed, that change is applied to all pages using it. You do not have to try and find all the pages with certain content or risk missing a page and having conflicting/different information across your website.
You can upload files to the CMS that can be linked to on a webpage. Types of files you can upload include audio, video, PDFs, Microsoft Office files, and more. These files have a size limit of 1GB each. After uploading, you must publish the file.
This process should not be used for images. Instead, use the Image Editor sidebar gadget.
All images are created in the CMS using the Image Editor gadget. You can crop specific sizes using the gadget, insert the cropped images in pages, and replace existing images. The image editor will automatically optimize and publish the images. Make sure the image that you’re uploading is less than 25 MB so that it is able to be used in the editor. All images used in the Image Editor must be RGB format, not CMYK.
