Reusable Content Demo
This page demonstrates some of the types of reusable content available in the CMS. These reusable content blocks help save time for web developers and content editors, by automating arduous tasks and allowing users to make updates to blocks by themselves.
Our CMS, Omni CMS, offers three types of reusable content, each designed for a different purpose:
Asset
A pre-made "piece" of a page. When the Asset is changed, all pages on the site using the Asset will be automatically updated.
Snippet
A drop-in table to make it easy for users to edit more complicated pieces of layout, such as a two-column split, or these "card" boxes.
Component
A form backed by custom programming, easily allowing users to include automatically-updated information from other systems (Banner, Valencia Events, etc.).
Facts and Figures Asset
The values in this table are set once in the CMS. When these numbers are updated, all pages which use these set values will be automatically updated and republished. (example page: Tuition Fees)
| Residency Status | Associate Tuition Per Credit Hour | Baccalaureate Tuition |
|---|---|---|
| Florida Resident | $103.06 | $112.19 |
| Non-Florida Resident | $390.96 | $427.59 |
| International | $390.96 | $427.59 |
In the Omni CMS editor, the asset for each figure appears in a box with a patterened background. In order to change the figure, the Asset used for it must be edited elsewhere in Omni CMS.

Left Column
This is the left side column. Most of the time, this will be the "larger" column, with a smaller sidebar to the right.
The sizes may vary in the editor, depending on the content on the page itself.
On smaller screens, such as a smartphone, each column will automatically "stack" into one equal-size column, keeping the content from getting too small to be easily read.
Right Column
Callout Box
This snippet gives a stricter structure to the layout of content in a callout box.
Text written in the Header and Body Text areas will be automatically formatted when previewed or published. If a link is added in the Button Link column, it will be styled as a button on the page.
In the editor, the above layout will look something like this:

Event Feeds Component
A Feed of Events can be drawn from a listing created using collegewide Events Calendar. Two feed styles are available.
Event Feed – List Style
The Event Feed "list style" is a simple list that displays events ordered by dates with options to display times and locations, if specified.
Important Dates
Event Feed – Card Style
The Event Feed "card style" can display more information about each event, including an image, date, time, time, location, description and a button link to view the event detail page.

Employee List Component
Content editors can add users to the Employee List by simply entering an Atlas user name. We can also hide or show additional data for department, position, phone and email link, if specified. This information is retrieved from a database, so it is automatically updated when a user loads the page, with no re-publishing required.
| Name | Department | Position | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traci Bjella | Public Affairs & Advancement Div | Asst VP, Marketing | (407) 582-1016 |
| Craig Blazejewski | Public Affairs & Advancement Div | Dir, Interactive Marketing & Web Services | (407) 582-1274 |
| Maureen Williams | Enterprise Application Services | Mgng Dir, Enterprise App Svcs | (407) 582-5463 |
