Creating faculty/staff listings involves a few steps. First, you must create a Personnel Information for each person. If you are including an employee who is already listed in another department, you will still create the page, but you will pull in content from the other listing. Once that is created you will be able to add people to the listing pages.

The Form Asset is being discontinued by the vendor. Their tentative timeline for changing the functionality in the CMS is:
If you are considering adding form(s) to your website, please start using Google Forms. If you already have CMS form(s) on your site, we recommend completing switchovers to Google Forms by March 31, 2026. We will also be following up with individual form owners to provide reminders.
You can use the “Michigan Tech Form Template” from the Google Forms template listing. The template includes a link to Google’s documentation.
The following original documentation for advanced functionality in form assets will remain until the end of March 2026 for users to reference when switching their forms.
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 20MB 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—when downloading a file from the UMC photo database, select the 4800 px option. All images used in the Image Editor must be RGB format, not CMYK.
