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.
