Website visitors tend not to read long paragraphs of text. Web browsing is a rapid activity, increasingly done while on the go or while the user’s attention is divided. Users prefer to scan down the page, skimming for the information for which they’re looking. Converting paragraphs into lists makes skimming easier.

This past spring in our content editors feedback survey, one theme that arose was that many users find it difficult to navigate within the TerminalFour content management system, especially given the large number of folders in our site structure.
So to help, I thought I would share some tips and tricks that I've discovered which make navigating in our TerminalFour CMS a little bit easier, including the Filter tool, Bookmarks, and a few keyboard shortcuts.

The TerminalFour CMS will be offline from 6:00pm tonight (Wed, Apr 19) until 8am tomorrow (Thu, Apr 20).
We’re hoping, since this outage is occurring outside of normal business hours, that it won’t be too inconvenient or disruptive for you all.
The good news is that TerminalFour will be offline in order to move to Amazon Web Services (AWS), a new set of servers. This switch is being done to address some issues with file transfers and forms, improve emergency communications, and will result in improvements to the system.

This email is to confirm that TerminalFour engineers were able to restore form submission emails on Friday afternoon.
During the email outage, TerminalFour continued to store your form submissions in T4, in your form’s “submissions” folder.
If you have any questions or concerns about how to retrieve your form submission data from within T4, feel free to drop me a line at otism@seattleu.edu.

TerminalFour form submission emails are currently down. T4 is aware of the problem and they are working on fixing it right now.
We will keep you posted with updates as we learn more, and our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
