    Evanced Display on the New Website

    From HPL Print & Graphics on behalf of the Virtual Team:

    Hello,

    You may have noticed that programs entered into Evanced for December are not appearing on the website immediately. The Virtual Team provided the following explanation for programs not appearing on the website immediately:

    The new website pulls information from Evanced in a different way than the old one did. The old website basically just showed the information from Evanced in a list form, and it showed up immediately after you published. The new website actually pulls in the data from Evanced and creates new, editable content on the website. This allows pages to be manipulated a little more than the pages on the old website (format the content, add images, share the event as a regular webpage, etc.), which means less duplication of information (and work). The website pulls content every 6 hours, and it only pulls in the next 30 days’ programs with each data import.

    You do not need to change anything about your regular workflow. However, if there are changes to a program that need to be published immediately or if a program needs to be added last minute, please email hplvirtuallibrary@houstontx.gov or contact Somer Newland (3-1572) or Saima Kadir (3-1698). If a program does need to be added last minute, please do not enter it into Evanced – just let the Virtual Team know and they will add it on their end. If it’s entered in Evanced by you and then entered by the Virtual Team, once that information is pulled from Evanced, there will be duplicate entries on the website. If time is not an issue, you *can* make the change in Evanced, and the changes will be made the next time the website pulls information from Evanced.

    If you have any questions, please contact the Virtual Team.  Thank you.
