A-Z Lists

 

There are several options for A-Z lists in GW Drupal, including:

These can be useful for creating directories or resource lists of forms and pages within a website.

All of the A-Z Lists can be found via the Customize this Page button, and then under the A-Z Lists section.

To create an A-Z List page

  1. Create a page that will host the listing
  2. Give the page a dedicated Site Placement value
  3. Create the pages that will populate the listing
  4. Match their Site Placement value to the list host page

Note: alphabetized listings cannot be customized. For instance, if you would like to have a specific result at the top of the list, this is not supported. Instead, consider leaving that particular page out of the alphabetized list and, instead, manually include that information in the regular body text of the list host page.

 

Alphabetized Person page listings are available in three display options:

A-Z Listing Person

Full Time Faculty subhead text and the alphabet with some letters linked

 

  • displays the linked alphabet at the top of the page
    • each letter serves as an anchor link to the respective results on the page
  • results are displayed as simple text links
