What are resource lists?

Resource lists are widgets that, when created on a page, will display a list of downloadable resources from a specific organisation or filtered by a specific tag.

Add a new resource

Adding a new resource is as simple as completing the form using a unique title. First, scroll to the bottom of this article and find the relevant upload area for the resource list you want to add to. Then fill out the form using the guidance below.

Title

Nice and easy - this is the name of your resource. Make it nice and clear, and add dates where relevant. For example, 'Room Booking Form 2020-21' or 'Refund Request Form 2021-22'.

Summary

Here you'll want to add any extra information about your resource. The character limit is quite high at 750 characters, but you can't put in formatting or paragraphs so don't go overboard. Short, sweet, simple and clear, that's all you need.

Tags

The table at the bottom of this article details the tags for each area.

File

There's a maximum file size here of 3mb, but this should be more than enough for the type of resource you need to upload. If your file exceeds that limit, consider the format it's in. Are there images in there that don't need to be? If there are necessary images, have they been optimised to reduce their size?

Permissions

Leave this as 'everyone can see this resource'.

Edit a resource

To edit a resource, scroll down to the bottom of the resources page to the section titled 'Existing resources'. Here you'll find a table that lists all your resources. On the right hand side of each row, you'll have an edit button - hit this, and the page will reload with that resource's information. Edit the details as needed and then select 'Update resource'.

Remove a resource

Scroll down to the existing resources section and find the resource you want to remove. On the right hand side is a red delete button. Hit this and then confirm the deletion when prompted.
