Department Name:

Department Name will come from the root site folder labeled ggd.[your site name] or ggc.[your site name] menu. To change it, right-click the folder, press Edit, and change the title field.

Department Information:

Here you can include your department's building and contact information.

• Building Name: Enter the Department's Building Name
• Building Map Link: Refer to the instructions below to find the Building Map Link 
• Phone: Enter the Department Phone Number
• Email: Enter the Department's Email

Use a Building Map Link in your footer to direct users to your building on the CPP Campus Map. You can get the building link from CPP Maps: /maps/. Select your building on the Campus map and press the share button. 

Next, copy the link and paste it into the Building Map Link field.

Social Media: 

Insert your department's social media page links. This includes Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, X, TikTok, and Vimeo. If the social media link field is left empty, the icon will not appear in your footer.

Cascade View (Viewing Mode)

Cascade viewing mode refers to viewing a footer block page in Cascade CMS outside of editing mode. In viewing mode, the system displays how the footer block is rendered based on the current site structure and applied formats. It allows users to see the output of the footer block—typically a list of links—without making changes to its configuration or content.

Below is an example of a footer layout page with example links on how the page would be structured from the Cascade viewpoint, previewing the Department Name, Department Information, and Social Media Links.

After making changes to your footer, you must publish your updates.

First, navigate to your footer page and click Edit at the top right.

After opening the Edit window, click the 3 dots at the top right. This will give you the option to start a workflow so that you can publish your changes to the footer.

Your footer only needs to be published once, since publishing applies the changes to all footers across your website. Republish only if the footer information is updated.
