Building a New Help Center in CXone Expert
Overview
There are several components when creating a new product help center in CXone Expert. Contact Stephen or Katie first before creating a new help center.
When creating a new product help center, follow these naming conventions:
- New CAS help center
- Title: (Insert CAS name) Applicant Help Center (e.g., OTCAS Applicant Help Center)
- URL: (Insert CAS name)_Applicant_Help_Center (e.g., https://help.liaisonedu.com/OTCAS_Applicant_Help_Center)
- New product help center
- Title: (Insert Product name) Help Center (e.g., Othot Help Center)
- URL: (Insert Product name) (e.g., https://help.liaisonedu.com/Othot)
Creating Custom Header
Proceed with Caution: a mistake in this section creates errors throughout the entire site. Contact Stephen if you need help with custom headers.
Step 1: Add Logo to Media Repository
- From the home page, click Media Repository.
- Click Product Logos.
- Size the image to the correct pixels. This can be done by eyeballing the image from the application and making the logo the same size, or larger or smaller. Name the file “CAS Name Logo” and save as a .png file type.
- Click the Attach a file button and upload the image.
- Right-click on the logo name and copy the link address. Save the image URL in Notepad, as you’ll use it when Creating a Custom Header.
Step 2: Create the Custom Header
- Under Site tools, click Dashboard.
- Under Site Administration, click Template directory.
- Click on a live CAS from the Site Header folder.
- Under Options, click Copy.
- Locate the copied page under the Site Header folder in Browse and update the page title with the new CAS name. Then click Copy page.
- On the new page, click Edit.
- Click </> HTML in the top right of the text editor.
- Replace the a href path with the new help center path.
- Replace the img src with the new image path (from Add logo to media repository above). Copy the link path from “@api/….png”.
- If necessary, remove hidden chat html from HTML view of header template.
- Click Save.
- Click Templates from the breadcrumb. Alternatively, click Site tools, then Dashboard, then Template directory.
- Click Site Header.
- Click Edit.
- Expand the last DekiScript block.
- Copy an existing CAS block and paste in the CAS alphabetical order.
- Update the page path and template with the new CAS information. Underscores are required for the page path and template.
