LAS Framework - Awards and Award Winners
How to add an award winner page in the LAS Framework
The Awards and Award Winner content types work together to let you manage general information and individual winners of awards, scholarships, grants, and other periodic awards in your department.
- Award - This content type describes the award itself. What it's purpose is, who sponsors it, it's history, and the impact it has had.
- Award Winner - This content type is added to an Award whenever it is given. In each entry you can provide specifics about the individual(s) that won including when they won, a related picture, and a description of the ceremony or what they did to win. Winners are listed below the description on each Award's main page.
