Step 4: Input values into the fields (adhering to criteria below). Step 5: Click Add Row. • ID Requirements: • IDs cannot contain spaces or special characters. • The ID value does not display on your live site. • Best practice is to assign an abbreviated ID to represent the product name (ie. Small Business Checking = smallbiz_chk).

Step 4: Click the Insert Structured Data or Custom Content icon (white tag icon). Structured Data: a single data item (rate, product name, etc) Custom Content: a full rate or other data table

Step 6: Choose a Structured Data item and click OK. Note: A yellow “printData” box will serve as a placeholder for your new data item on the page.

Image Requirements / Best Practices Images Requirements Accepted file formats for images: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, map, bmp Special characters or spaces are not allowed in the file name. File names are case-sensitive. There is not a limit to the file size of an uploaded image or the total number of images that may be stored in Web Center. Best Practices Use an external image editing program to resize and optimize images for the web. Do not resize images using the WCAC. Send the image and the page where the image is located to staging and live at the same time; otherwise, the image will be broken on the page on the live site. Use the Management Console upload tool to upload images for Promotion Manager. Use a consistent naming convention, for example, name all banners from your Mortgage department: mort-imagename.jpg. This makes it easier to locate an image in the WCAC.
Document Requirements / Best Practices Document Requirements Accepted file formats for documents: pdf, html, htm, txt, swf, doc, rtf, ppt, xls, wpd, wps, csv, css, js and all multimedia files. Special characters or spaces are not allowed in the file name. File names are case-sensitive. There is not a limit to the file size of an uploaded document or the total number of documents that may be stored in Web Center. Best Practices When uploading a PDF, make sure it’s web-quality (72 dpi) instead of a print-quality version (100+ dpi). Disable macros in Word and Excel documents to limit the potential concern over Microsoft Office security warnings. Send the document and the page where the document is linked to staging and live at the same time; otherwise, the link to the document will be broken on the page on the live site. Use code view in the Editor to embed any multimedia documents. Use a consistent naming convention, for example, name all documents for applications: app-docname.jpg. This makes it easier to locate a document in the WCAC.
Replace an Image or Document Use the replace option to swap out an old graphic or document with an updated version. For example, you may wish to replace a season graphic on the home page or update the current newsletter without changing the links on the site. • Notes • Replacement images must be the exact same height and width as the original image. • Replaced files will appear in all locations on the site where the old image or document was located or linked to. • The old image or document is permanently deleted.
Image Info Tab Alternative Text: This title will appear when hovering over an image. It also assists browsing for users with visual disabilities. Width/Height: Changes in the WCAC are not recommended. Use an external image editor (such as Adobe Photoshop) instead. Border Thickness: Border size around the image (in pixels). HSpace and VSpace: The white space between the image and surrounding text or other items.
