OVERVIEW
Target audience: Site Administrators, Site Managers, Site Editors
This article provides information on how to embed content from select external sites in the Web Management System (WMS). At the moment, only Microsoft Forms content is possible to embed in the New WMS.
NOTE: this article refers to a process to be used on sites that have already migrated to the New WMS.
If your site has not yet migrated see the Index of documentation for the McGill Web Management System.
Embed Microsoft Forms form
Microsoft Forms is the recommended solution for online data collection on McGill WMS sites.
NOTICE: The instructions below apply only to public MS Forms.
For private MS Forms that requires users to sign in, add either:
- A Call to Action (CTA) block that links to the form,
- A direct link to the Microsoft Form in the page content.
To embed a public form:
- Click the Embedded content button in the WYSIWYG editor.
- Complete the required fields:
- Select Microsoft Forms from the drop-down menu under Embedded content.
- Paste the URL copied from the Microsoft Form into the URL field.
- Enter the Width in pixels or percentage. We recommend 1100px, which will fill the available space in any layout.
- Enter the Height in pixels. (Do not use a percentage.) The minimum height is 320px and the recommended maximum height is 550px.
- Click Submit.
It may be necessary to adjust the width and height of public forms to display the form itself rather than a link to the Microsoft site. Private forms will always display a link only.
To adjust the width and height, click to highlight the embedded form in the editing window and then click the Embedded content button to modify the settings.
