Authorization Course Info Box Template
How to create a new authorization info box
Step 1:
- Create a new child page under Authorizations using the title of the authorization course. Do not stick "auth" or "authorization" in the name. Note that a single authorization course page is all that's needed to cover multiple tools. To make a new page quickly, type in the name at the end of the URL to the Authorizations...
https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Authorizations/Hot_Air_Balloon
- Create the page.

Step 2:
- From the Insert menu select Template. Type in
AuthorizationCourseInfoand select AuthorizationCourseInfo...

- If you don't see the Insert menu, switch over to the visual editor...

- If you want to use the code editor, scroll down to find what to copy and paste.
Step 3
- Fill out the template form. Authorization Course Name, Authorizer Name, and Schedule Frequency are required fields. Check mark optional fields on the left as needed.
- Insert the template.

- Description of each field can be found at the end of this page. Refer to this example if you want some inspiration...
Step 4
- Save the page.
