Roadmap Drawing List

Both of the Roadmap Drawings and POST Drawings feature lists function the same way. Click the above title link to learn how to navigate it!

Here you have access to detailed information and properties settings about each Roadmap drawing, as a whole - inclusive of all versions created for that drawing. Click the above link to access Embed Code and set your primary External Link URLs.

Version Settings

Here you have access to detailed information and properties settings specific to each Roadmap or POST Drawing version. Click the above link to access Version Notes and HTML and PDF links that will always point to each specific version.

Adding a New Drawing

Each drawing must have a unique Program Name. The Web Tool stores and references each drawing by organization abbreviation and drawing Program Name.

Click at the top of the drawing list to create a new Roadmap drawing.
The screen will refresh to look like this:
Select an applicable Career Cluster from the drop-down list.

NOTE: This will be displayed under the drawing title bar on your roadmap drawing.
Select an applicable Career Cluster Pathway from the drop-down list. This will be your drawing title unless you provide an Alternate Title.
- If "Not Listed", select "Not Listed" from the drop-down list and provide an alternate Program Name.
NOTE: This has been done to help avoid typographical errors and maintain consistency in the roadmap titles. As new programs are approved they will be added to this drop-down list.
Program Name: If the program name you need is "Not Listed" (in the approved drop-down list), you can manually type your desired program name here. In addition, you can override the display of the Career Cluster Pathways name in the drawing title bar with a customized title here.
- Type a short and descriptive title for your drawing, such as "Accounting", "Game Programming", or "Culinary Arts - Food Service Management".
- NOTE: Please DO NOT add your Organization's abbreviation to the title, or the words "Career Pathway", as these are automatically added by default.
Your Organization name is confirmed below.
Click
Your new drawing and Version 1 has now been created. You are now viewing the drawing canvas to start creating your new drawing.
Your Organization abbreviation, the Career Pathways logo, drawing title, and Career Cluster are automatically placed in and under the drawing title bar at the top of the drawing canvas.
- To edit, go to Drawing Properties. Changes to the title and skill set will affect the entire drawing, not just a specific version.

- NOTE: This has been done to help avoid typographical errors and maintain consistency in the roadmap titles. As new programs are approved they will be added to this drop-down list.

- Type a short and descriptive title for your drawing, such as "Accounting", "Game Programming", or "Culinary Arts - Food Service Management", and click .
- The title bar will automatically update to reflect your changes.

-===Deleting Drawing Versions===

-===ADA/504 Accessibility Compliance===
-====Viewing Roadmaps====
-The transition to using the Canvas technology for rendering roadmaps also enables end-users and roadmap creators with vision impairments to zoom the view of each roadmap to a certain extent. Using the browser's zoom functionality a roadmap viewer can zoom a roadmap in or out of normal view. Zooming out too far will cause certain components of the roadmap to appear broken, or missing color.
-====Text-Only View====
-A URL to an "accessible" (text-only) version of your drawing is available in the drawing's information page, accessed by clicking the <b>drawing title</b> from the drawing menu. This view eliminates all the graphical components of the roadmaps, and is suitable for viewing in any browser or using a screen reader.
- <a href="http://oregon.ctepathways.org/c/text/cocc_emt_basic.html">Accessible version</a>
-The "accessible" URL will always link to the published version of that drawing. Include a link to this URL on your web page where you have embedded the full drawing so that visitors can access a version of your drawing that will be compatible with screen readers.
+For tutorials on how to embed Roadmap Drawings into public websites, click here: [[Embedding Roadmaps & POST Views]]
-<b>NOTE:</b> In order for a roadmap to function in this view, it must be created using "connections" to link boxes together. If a drawing does not use connections, it will still be visible in this view, however it will be difficult to navigate. It is the responsibility of the roadmap creator to assure their roadmaps are created in a way to support this representation.
+==[[ADA/504 Accessibility Compliance]]==
+The Web Tool has undergone a series of changes that have been aimed in part at ensuring accessibility of Roadmaps and POST Drawings produced by it. Click the above link to learn how.
