Site Builder Role

Data Visualization Widget

The Data Visualization widget allows you to embed accessible, interactive data visualizations created using Everviz (formerly Highcharts Cloud). Dozens of chart types and variations are available, including line, spline, area, column, bar, pie, and scatter charts.

Add Images/Photos

Overview

Images can be added to all pages on an Open Berkeley website, either directly in a content item (such as a Content page, News item, or FAQ item), or added to a customized page (such as a Landing page, or...

Thumbnail List

A Thumbnail List allows Site Builders to feature one or more "thumbnail"-sized photos with accompanying title text (which is linked to either internal or external content), with the option to add secondary text as well.

URL Aliases (Friendly Path Names)

URL aliases (e.g., “about-us” instead of “node/9”) are automatically assigned by default, and are what appear in the URL of your individual pages (e.g., http://YOURSITE.berkeley.edu/about-us). If desired, they can be manually assigned when creating or editing a node, and site builders also have the option of administering aliases via the site builder dashboard.

People Feature

The People feature allows you to create content for individual people, which can be featured/listed in a few different ways. This feature is a good way to create and showcase a directory of people on your site.

Twitter Widget

Twitter Widget allows site builders to add Twitter timeline widgets to pages. You need a Twitter account to create these widgets, but you do not need a Twitter developer account or API key. Please note: As of July 1 2023, Twitter platform issues are interfering with proper display of the widget.

Berkeley Events calendar widget

The Berkeley Events calendar widget enables you to embed a short list of events from the Berkeley Events calendar on your pages.

Photo Thumbnails

Photo thumbnails allow Site Builders to add a widget containing a photo with a color band (all Berkeley Brand colors are available) added to the bottom of the photo. These Photo Thumbnails are meant to link to either internal or external content.

Assign User Roles and Edit User Accounts

Your full list of User Accounts can be found on the Site Builder dashboard (select "Dashboard" in the upper left corner), or from the "Dashboard" flyout in the black admin bar.

How to Manage Users on Your Site

Site Builders may perform the following actions on the User Accounts page:

add roles (new users) change and add roles (existing users) remove user roles (existing users) collapse all expand all Add roles to new...

Manage Users

The Open Berkeley platform provides four roles: Contributor, Editor, Widget Editor, and Site Builder. Anyone with the Site Builder role can manage users and assign roles.
