Header Component

Add the component to the page. There is a main editable Header area plus two additional 'drag components or assets here' areas. And three fixed links are provided in a narrow banner at the very top: UB Home, Maps and UB Directory.

The header belongs at the top of your site. The normal order is as follows (not all sites will use all components) : 

1. Emergency Alert Banner
   
2. Header (this component)
   
3. Top Navigation
   
4. Breadcrumbs 
   

Note, when it is not desirable to add a regular 'Heading 1' Title component to a page, such as your site's home page, a setting in Page Properties allows the Header component's Title to serve as the H1.

Title - Enter the formal title for your website, usually your office or program's official name.

Title Link - Provide a link back to your homepage (required for all but single-page sites).

• Use the magnifying glass tool to find the path to your website in the UBCMS ("/content/...").

Tagline - Enter an additional description for your site (optional). This description can clearify what your site is; e.g. the News Center provides 'Official UB news and information for the media.'

• The tagline will be displayed below the main Title.

School 1 Title - Name your unit's parent school/division or primary affiliation to match your Unit Lockup (required for most sites).

• Will be displayed at the very top of the header module.
  

School 1 Link - Provide a link back to the primary parent website.

• Use the magnifying glass tool to find the path to your parent's website.
• For an external website, be sure to enter the complete URL ("https://...").

School 2 Title - If your office has a second parent or affiliation, enter its name here (optional but recommended).

• It will be displayed at the very top of the header module, to the right of the primary affiliation.
  

School 2 Link - Provide a link back to the secondary parent website.

• Use the magnifying glass tool to find the path to your second affiliation's website.
• For an external website, be sure to enter the complete URL ("https://...").

Color Scheme - Choose: blue header with a gray bar (default), gray header with a blue bar, or a white header with a blue bar.

• If you have provided School 1 or School 2 Titles, the bar will be darker beneath those links.

Identity - Choose from:  

• Brand Extension - Shows the official brand extension of the sites of most decanal areas and their departments.
  
• Services, Initiatives, Events - For major service areas, university initiatives and campus-wide events that should not use a formal brand extension; e.g. Administrative Services Gateway, UB 2020, this website.
  

Two additional buildable areas on the right are intended to house specific components.

Top Area - Use this to add Social Button components.

Bottom Area - Use this to add Button components for task navigation.

• Place this component at the top of your page, just below the Emergency Alert Banner (if present).
