This guide is for you who will be creating a page for research infrastructure on the new uib.no (W4).

Access and login

Access

To create and edit a research infrastructure page, you need editing access with the correct role. Editing access is managed in UiBtilgang. You must request access to this role there. Your manager can also request the access on your behalf. Find out more about roles and access.

Login

You must be connected to the UiB network to access page editing. If you’re outside UiB, you must use VPN login. Go to w4.uib.no and log in with Feide to edit pages.

Create a page

  1. After logging in via w4.uib.no, you’ll land on the “Webdesk” start page.
  2. Under “Shortcuts,” select “Content overview.”
  3. In “Content overview,” select “+ Add content” and “Research infrastructure.”

Language versions

  • The page can be created in Norwegian (Bokmål or Nynorsk), English, or both languages.
  • You cannot change the main language after the page has been saved.
  • Make sure the correct language is used in the correct language version.
  • Be consistent – don’t mix Nynorsk and Bokmål on the same page.

Universal design

We are legally required to ensure our ICT solutions are universally designed. Some of this is secured in the technical solution, but some of it also depends on you as the person publishing content.

  • Write in the correct language for the correct language version. English content on a Norwegian page (or vice versa) breaches universal design requirements.
  • Link texts must be descriptive. The user should understand where a link leads before clicking it.
  • Don’t use images that contain text.

See more information on universal design in the web manual.

Top section

Title (required)

Write the name of the research infrastructure. Don’t use this field for anything other than the name itself.

Lead (required)

Write a short summary of the research infrastructure. Max 900 characters.

Main image (optional)

  • A main image is optional. You can only add one.
  • The image must meet universal design requirements. Don’t use images of text.
  • You can add an image caption, which is shown directly beneath the image.

Affiliation

Here you specify the faculty, department, or centre the research infrastructure belongs to. You can add several if relevant.

Faculty

Search for and select one or more faculties from a predefined list. A link to the faculty is added automatically.

Department (and centre at the department level)

Search for and select one or more departments or centres from a predefined list. A link is added automatically.

Add other affiliations

Here you can add other affiliations not found in the lists above. For each link, provide a “URL” and “Link text.” Use the arrows to change the order.

Main content

About

Write about the research infrastructure. The title of this section is fixed and cannot be changed. You can add headings, paragraphs, images, videos, links, bullet lists, numbered lists, and special characters.

Link list

You can add a link list with related pages. For each link, provide a “URL” and “Link text.” You can add a maximum of 10 links.

Extra sections

If you need more content, you can add extra sections. You choose the title for each section yourself. The order can be changed at any time.

Note: The interface shows two different limits for how many extra sections you can add (5 and 10, depending on where in the interface you look). Check with IT/the Communications Division on the correct limit before publishing.

People

Here you can add groups of people connected to the research infrastructure. You name each group yourself, for example “Administrative staff” or “Advisory board.”

  • You can add up to 5 groups.
  • Both internal UiB staff and external people can be added to each group.
  • Use the arrows to change the order of the groups.
