Add vacancy

Lesson time: 15 minutes

Lesson objectives:

In this lesson you will create a vacancy using the Add Content feature, and edit an existing vacancy on the Web CMS Dashboard.

Introduction

The Vacancy content type is used to store and display job vacancies at UCT or organisations associated with UCT. A vacancy cannot exist on its own, instead it is placed in  a vacancy table which is a component that can only be added on a page. Vacancies are either internal or external and are set as such in Web CMS. Internal vacancies are only accessible to UCT staff and students, while external vacancies are accessible to the general public.
