Card Containers

How to create a cards container block

1. Navigate to the _blocks subfolder of the folder your page is located in. 
2. Go to + Add Content and select Blocks > Cards Container.
3. Name the block using the correct naming convention: block-type-page-purpose (for example, cards-default-alumni-landing.)
4. Confirm the block is going into the correct placement folder.
5. If you would like your card block to have a coloured background, select Yes to Add a colour block background and select the colour in the Background section that appears. Please note: if you choose to have a coloured background, your container needs to go within it's own section on your page. Otherwise, leave this field as No.
6. If you're creating a single card, select Yes to the Full-width card. If you're creating multiple cards, leave this field as No. 
7. Expand the Cards section. Leave the setting as Manually pick cards.
8. Expand the Card row. Select your Card type. Refer to the examples above to see what the various card types look like and their use cases. Do not mix different types of cards in the same block. In most cases, you'll use a default card.
9. Complete the appropriate fields for the card type you've selected. This will always include a title, as well as a link (which can be internal to the site or external), and in most cases, will also include some body text and an image. For information on adding new images, see our images and documents page.
10. Once you've completed your first card, select the + beside the first card row to add another, and proceed with filling in all the applicable fields until you've created all your cards.
11. Select preview draft, then submit. Correct any spelling errors or broken links.
12. Add the blocks container to your page in a new section.
