SOLES Program Finder Database Front-End
Users can see the SOLES Program Finder front-end at sandiego.edu/soles/academics/program-finder.php.
Accessing the SOLES Program Finder in the Manage Area
Access the SOLES Program Finder database by going to sandiego.edu/manage/soles/graduate-program-finder/.
Sorting
By default, the page is sorted by ascending posting date.
Clicking on the Job Title or Posting Date column headings will sort the list of jobs by the respective column. Clicking it a second time will sort it by descending values.
Arrows next to the column header will indicate if the list is sorted, and in which direction. An arrow pointing up for ascending. An arrow pointing down for descending.
Filtering
Use the filters to search for entries in either column.
Press the Enter key when you're finished typing in the filter criteria to complete the search. Remove everything in the filter box and press enter to return the whole list again.
Adding a New Job Post
Click the giant + Add job post button to begin a new entry.
Fill out the following fields on the Add job entry page and then click the Create button to create the new entry.
The database contains the following fields:
Nodes
Nodes are the individual links, represented by a sentence, which users click on to continue their path down the Program Finder.
In the Manager screenshot to the immediate right, the tree path for a particular node is outlined in red. The top outline is the Program Finder landing page. The second outlined option is the first option in the tree, which means it's the first option on the front-end page. It is outlined in the top screenshot on the far right.
When a user clicks this option, it takes them to that page, and the next step in their path.
The third and final outlined node is the second child of the first node. This means it's the second link on the subsequent page. It is outlined on the bottom screenshot to the far right.
Because that node has no children nodes underneath it, when a user clicks it on the front-end, it will take them to their final destination in the Program Finder, which is the actual application page for that particular program.
Navigation and Update Sections
There are two separate sections of the Program Finder Manager. The top section is the Navigation section. It allows you to select a "node" from an expansive tree of node options.
Once a node is selected, the Update section populates with data from that node. Altering any of that data will allow you to update that particular node.
Adding a New Node
Select the parent node you wish to add a new child node under, then click the + Add Child Node button.
The Update section will display the following fields:
- Link Title:
- Page Title (Max. characters allowed: 255): The year, month, and day the post should go live.
- Job DescriptionPage Text: A detailed description of the job.
- Job LocationURL (Include http:// or https://): Where the job will be located.
- Active: Whether the job listing should be active (Yes) or inactive (No).
Updating an Entry
Click the Update button next to an entry to edit that entry.
The Update job entry page looks identical to the Add a new job page.
Click Save to save changes or Delete to delete the entry.
Deleting an Entry
An entry can also be deleted by pressing the Red X button next to an entry.
The system will display the entire entry on a new page. At the very bottom of that page will be a red button that says, "Yes, delete."
Pressing the Yes, delete button will delete the entry.
