Stat Content Type

Always check to see if a Stat already exists for the information you're working with.

1. Log into Drupal.
2. Click Content in the black admin menu at the top of a page to open the content search.
3. In Content Type, select Stat.
4. In Title, enter a keyword or two.
5. Click Filter.
6. Browse the matches to see if your stat is already listed.
7. Repeat with other logical keywords. The stat may not be worded exactly the same or may be outdated and have a different number.

If you found that:

• a Stat node already exists, do not add another. Update it if you can. If you can't. contact us to get it updated.
• multiple Stats exist, contact us so we can remove duplicates and change the Statistics: 3 Columns in all areas to reference the same node.
• no Stat yet exists, you can create the new node first or use Embed within a Statistics: 3 Columns to create it.

Creating Stats

See Content Types for instructions on creating and editing nodes.

Archiving (Deleting) Stats

If you no longer want your stat available for use, you can archive it to keep the public from seeing it.

Important! Before archiving a Stat, check to make sure it's not currently being used anywhere else.

• Do a quick search of the site — using the caption or number — to see what areas may link to your Stat.
• Remove the Stat from those pages or let the site editor know that you'll be removing the stat.

To remove a statistic that is no longer in use, see “Archiving(Deleting) a Node” on Content Types.

Enter the statistic in Number in brackets — [ and ].

Examples:

• [9:1]
• [1700] Students
• [500+]

Instructions for how to enter the number are provide as help text under the field.

Enter a brief explanation in Caption.

Examples:

• Student-faculty ratio
• We're a small but powerful community.
• Course offerings every year

Enter a Revision Log Message saying where you are using the new stat.
