Authorization Course Info Box Template

How to create a new authorization info box

Step 1:

Create a new child page under Authorizations using the title of the authorization course. Do not stick "auth" or "authorization" in the name. Note that a single authorization course page is all that's needed to cover multiple tools. To make a new page quickly, type in the name at the end of the URL to the Authorizations...

https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Authorizations/Hot_Air_Balloon

Create the page.

Step 2:

From the Insert menu select Template. Type in AuthorizationCourseInfo and select AuthorizationCourseInfo...

If you don't see the Insert menu, switch over to the visual editor...

If you want to use the code editor, scroll down to find what to copy and paste.

Step 3:

Fill out the template form. Authorization Course Name, Authorizer Name, and Schedule Frequency are required fields. Check mark optional fields on the left as needed.

Insert the template.

Description of each field can be found at the end of this page. Refer to this example if you want some inspiration...

That's it!
