Uploading an image to Cascade CMS is done through the Common Asset Factory, using the red plus sign for adding content. This method ensures that the appropriate metadata is included with the image, making it search-engine friendly, and 508 compliant for persons with disabilities.
Select a folder by hovering over the asset name and clicking on the arrow that appears to the right of the asset name. The contents of that folder will display on the right hand side of the page.
The File Name should include the image dimensions at the end, e.g. student-center-480x320. This will help when you are inserting the image into a page. The purpose of Alternative Text is to provide a description of the contents of an image file. One of the most common uses of Alternative Text is to provide text for visitors who can't see images in their browsers.
Images uploaded to the CMS can be inserted into a page via a WYSIWYG editor by clicking on the Insert/edit Image button.
