ITS Documentation: Performance Support Standards

This document is to be used as a supplement to the ITS Documentation Site Scope and ITS Documentation Design Patterns. It is a collection of further-defined styles and standards for the ITS Performance Support Team. The PSA and DUX teams meet monthly to discuss best practices and update these styles and standards.

Getting Started

What you will need:

To set up:

  1. Create a local folder on the P:MAIS drive in Groups > Performance Support > HTML
    • create a sub-folder for images
    • copy the template.html file from another service's folder into your new folder

      Note use this file to start all new files. only the code between the content tags should be edited and used to copy and paste into Drupal's code view.

      Warning Do not enter or edit code in Drupal. Drupal may alter/break your code.

  2. Set up an SFTP connection to the service's folder in the AFS directory
