Additional Assets

Beyond the assets in the editing interface, there are additional assets for Announcements and Events that are made for use. Because these assets are not available in the Insert Asset tool, you can reference the specific parameters defined in this article or copy-and-paste into the Source Code editor as needed.

HEAD'S UP: Due to the higher level of impact that these items have on university content, additional assets can only be accessed by Global Admin users. Contact Us for assistance.
