Self-Help Guides: Create a Column for a Self-Help Guide

Columns in a self-help guide are made up of Main Categories, Sub-categories and resource links. For more information on the structure of a self-help guide, see: Understand the Structure.

Note: These instructions assume that you have logged into your Drupal site and that you have permission to create content in your site.

Creating a Self-Help Guide Column

1. Click Content in the Administrator Toolbar.
2. Click +Add Content.
3. Click Self-Help Guide Column.
4. Enter the title for the page in the Title field. 
   
   • Note: The title is used for organizational purposes in Drupal. It won't display in the Self-Help Guide. A good title for a column includes the name of the associated Self-Help Guide and the column number (e.g. Microsoft Word Column 1).
5. Enter the title for column in the Column Title field.
   • Note: The Column Title field is used for the title that will show up in the Self-Help Guide.
     
6. Add Main Categories, Subcategories, and links to resources as needed. See the following How-to articles for step-by-step instructions:
   
   • Create a New Main Category in a Column
   • Create a New Subcategory in a Main Column
   • Add a Link to a Resource on another Website
   • Add a Link to a Resource on the Same Website as the Self-help Guide
7. Save or Publish the column.
   • Note: The options you see for saving and/or publishing the column will depend on how your site is set up.
