Communicate with Elements and Patterns

When a file, image, and asset is created within Modern Campus CMS, it is assigned a unique identifier called a dependency tag - shown within double curly brackets {{}}.

Dependency tags help ensure items retain their link even if they are renamed or moved throughout the site. It’s important to remember, when linking to an internal page, you should use the file chooser and not a url link. This will insure you are using the item’s dependency tag and will be useful in helping to prevent broken links.

Dependency tags are managed with a dependency manager. They are assigned to all internal pages and files, but not to external links.

Quick links are a collection of links, predominately displayed, that prompt website visitors to complete a desired action. The hero component provides the opportunity to add up to three quick links (buttons) at the top of your page.

Quick links, located just above the footer, may also be added to your page. These quick links are available only by request. These links typically repeat the call-to-action links located at the top of your page.
