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.
-
===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 <b>Accessible</b> (text-only/ADA Compliant) version of your drawing is available in the http://oregon.ctepathways.org/common/silk/cog.png Drawing Properties page, accessible from the drawing list or ''VERSIONS'' menu.
+
-
* The URL for the drawing will always have the word "text" within the URL, like this:
+
-
: http://oregon.ctepathways.org/c/text/273/text.html
+
-
* The "Accessible" URL will always link to the published version of that drawing.
+
-
* This view eliminates all the graphical components of the roadmaps, and is suitable for viewing in any browser or using a screen reader.
+
-
* Include a link to this URL on your web page where you have embedded the full Roadmap drawing so that visitors can access a version of your drawing that will be compatible with screen readers.
+
-
 
+
-
''<b>IMPORTANT NOTICE:</b> In order for a Roadmap to function in this view, it must be created using [[#Connections|Connections]] that link boxes and content 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.''

    • If "Not Listed", select "Not Listed" from the drop-down list and provide a Program Name and manually select the Career Cluster.
    • 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.
  3. Program Name: If the Career Cluster Pathway 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 Pathway 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", and click Image:save.png.

About Targets

If creating a new hyperlink, or editing an existing one, you can set the Target to:

  • open link in the same window [or browser tab], or
  • open link in a new window [or browser tab]

Open link in the Same Window will override the existing web page and load the new web resource within the same browser window or active browser tab, whether a new web page of the same site, a different website altogether, or a PDF document. The user will be required to use the browsers BACK button to return to the original web page.

Open link in a New Window will keep the existing web page active and open the new web resource in a new window or browser tab so that the user can navigate between active web pages and won't lose their original web page.

Connections

A dynamic connection that moves between two or more box objects as layout changes occur. Please use Connections for ease of layout adjustments and ADA compliance. Connections can translate the relationship of box objects in text only views of these drawings.

  1. Right-click the starting box to select Start Connection Here;
  2. Right-click the ending box to select End Connection Here from the menu.
  3. A dynamic connection will appear between the two boxes.

Try this! Move the boxes around to see how the connection moves with the boxes. Slide the starting and ending points on the boxes to adjust the layout, and customize the connection with the following menu options!

Right-click each individual connection line to access this menu:

  • Start Point menu
Sets the side of the box the line is drawn from: Top, Bottom, Left or Right.
  • End Point menu
Sets the side of the box the line is drawn to: Top, Bottom, Left or Right.
  • Orientation menu
Sets the orientation (horizontal or vertical) of the connection from the start point. This option is not available if segment is set to 1 (Direct Line).
  • Segments menu
Sets the number of segments in the connecting line:
  • 1-Seg Line (Straight)
  • 1-Seg Line (Diagonal)
  • 2-Seg Line ("L")
  • 3-Seg Line
The default, 1-segment line, may not be visually connected to the end point. Adjust by moving the ending box, or selecting a different segment or orientation option.
1-Seg Line (Diagonal) creates a diagonal line to the destination box regardless of box position.
  • Color menu
Sets the color of the connection.
  • Auto Position
Detects box location to adjoining box, and resets connection to 1-Seg Line (Straight).
  • Delete
Permanently removes the connection, after confirmation.
Can also perform same action by hitting the DELETE key on your keyboard.

Changing Object Color

  • To change an object's colors, select the object and click a color from TOOLS color palette, or using Color on the object's right-click menu.
  • Connections are automatically assigned the color of the box they start from. If you change the color of the box, the connection is automatically updated; however you can manually override the connection color as instructed above.
  • Each Organization assigns its own selection of colors to the color palette, however default standards to all color palettes are: Dark Grey (#333333) and White (#ffffff).

Moving Objects

  • Click anywhere on a box object, and drag and release your mouse at the desired location. When clicked, boxes are highlighted with a blue frame.

Resizing Boxes

  • Box height is determined by content.

Positioning Objects

  • When selected, boxes, connections, lines and arrows show a blue frame, with a green control point at the start, and a red control point at the end. The object's menu can be brought up by right-clicking anywhere within this frame.
  • Click and drag the green start point or red end point to vertically or horizontally adjust the starting or ending location.
  • Connection start and end points can "slide" to any desired location along the TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT edges of box objects.
  • When dragging a box, line or arrow, hold down the ALT key (Option on Mac) to move the object without snapping to the grid.
