Hi CDDOM Team,
Here is your New QS2 site!
Login with /cas
https://cddom.uahs.arizona.edu/cas
Your old Drupal 7 site is here:
https://dev-cddom-uahs.pantheonsite.io/
This site is spun down to conserve energy. To wake it reload the page 3-5 times and give it 2-3 minutes to wake.
Important Tips:
Always put/paste links into this site like this:
/about/recognize-reward (site local links)
Not this way:
https://cddom.uahs.arizona.edu/about/recognize-reward
If links are pasted in with https://cddom.uahs.arizona.edu/ - then these links will load slower.

Making Pages + Menu Items at same time & Accessibile Main Menu Items
Video walkthrough
https://arizona.box.com/s/nw8kxkgvbnnftcimngl8gprebwsn5g81
Why don't some main menu items go anywhere?
2 Kinds of Main Menu Items/Links
- Landing Page - Main Menu items without sub pages are landing pages.
- <nolink> Main Menu items have sub pages and for accessiblity reasons these links/items when clicked only show the sub pages.
Site visitors on mobile or tablet have harder times navigating sub-menus when main menu items are linked to a page & have sub-menu. A main menu item w/out submenu links to itself as a page in it's own right. (See Accessibility below)
Creating Accessible Content
One of the most important steps you can take when creating content for your site is to ensure that all pages are accessible to people with disabilities. Webaim.org provides a great introduction on web accessibility that you can review and reference when creating content along with the more advanced resources provided by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at the W3C.

Image Resources
Since Quickstart is visually driven, high quality photos are important. Here are some photo resources available to you:
- The Digital Asset Library (****New Feature - downloads images directly to your site -Still experimental - if you don't see it ask Scott sjaxon@arizona.edu to enable this module)
- See this Document for GIF Animation of where to find the Digital Asset Library
- Digital Asset Library How To
- Basics - Go to a page you're working on
- Choose 'Add Text on Media'
- Choose 'Add Media'
- Choose 'Image'
- You'll see 'Add Arizona Digital Asset Library Media'
- Click that and it will take you through a login process. This process ends with verbiage that says - 'Continue'
- The 'Continue' button is back on your site - not on the site you just logged into. (This is still an experimental module. A bit clunky but it works).
- More Info: https://quickstart.arizona.edu/create-content/images-videos-and-files/digital-asset-manager
- BioCom does have access to Getty images and can purchase images for you. Those are $25 per image.
- BioCom also have photographers that can take photos of your center and personnel for a fee. Then you can have stock art of your own to use as needed.
- You can also provide your own images. If those images have people in them, we’ll trust that you have permission to use them.
- Another option is using stock photos provided by brand management. I believe you can sign up for a Smug account and access even more photos.
Adobe Creative Cloud accounts information for faculty and staff. It’s free and you can get started here: https://adobe.arizona.edu/signup/adobe-creative-cloud. It takes about 24 hours to gain access. Then you’ll be able to access https://stock.adobe.com/.
Translation Services
Here is the resource that I know is available at the University. There may be more and I’m sure there are also vendors that can help with translation when needed.
National Center for Interpretation (NCI)
UA At Work Article about NCI’s services
The CEAL website used translation services provided by one of their partners associated with their project.
Let us know if we missed anything or if you have questions. We look forward to working with you and your team on this exciting new project!
