Adding a New View

To access, click POST Views from the side navigation menu.

1. Click at the top of the drawing list to create a mapped plan of study between selected high schools and community college organizations.
2. Type a short and descriptive Occupation/Program title for your drawing, such as "Architectural Design & Drafting", "Business", or "Nursing".
   • Please do not add your organization's abbreviation to the title.
3. Your Organization name is confirmed below.
4. Click
5. You are now viewing the POST View setup page. From here you have access to the URL for the POST View and the Embed Code to embed it in a public website.
6. 
   To add a High School Template click the icon. A pop-up box will appear with the complete list of high schools in the Web Tool.
7. Scroll through the list and select the desired high school name from the Organizations list.
   • If no published drawing exists for the selected organization, the following message will appear beneath the list of organizations in the Drawings list: No published drawings were found for this school.
   • If published drawings do exist for the selected high school, a list of available POST drawings will appear in the Drawings list beneath.
   • To preview a drawing click the preview icon to the right of the drawing title – the drawing will display within the pop-up box.
   • To accept the drawing, click the drawing title and a icon will confirm your selection, and a Save button will appear.
   • Click Save to continue and return to the POST Views setup page.

Embedding POST Views

• It is recommended that you embed a drawing by inserting an <iframe> tag into your website code. This will present the Roadmap drawing within the design of your website, maintaining your website navigation while students and advisors review the POST Drawing.
• You can define the height and width of the <iframe> in your website document to best fit the Roadmap, as well as modify the frameborder and scrolling options.

Here is an example of the embed code for a POST View:

<iframe width="800" height="600" 
src="http://oregon.ctepathways.org/c/view_post/jg.html" 
frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

• To obtain the embed code, click on the Drawing Properties icon from the POST View list.
• The URL for the drawing is random and unique to this custom view, however it will always have the word "view_post" within the URL, like this:

http://oregon.ctepathways.org/c/view_post/jg.html

• This is the best method of embedding a POST drawing. When a new version of a mapped POST drawing is published, the POST View will always reference the currently published version of that drawing.

NOTE: If any drawing is renamed after it has been mapped into a POST View, the POST View will error, breaking any links on external sites to this drawing. For this reason, it is a good idea never to change the names of drawings once they have been "published".
