Resource Finder

The resource finder is a custom feature that displays information in a filtered card format.

This component combines content from various online resources that you'd like displayed and searched on a single page. Cards must be filtered by categories and searched using keywords.

SafeUND is an example of a resource finder.

Setting up a resource finder must be approved by Marketing & Communications. Please contact Aimee Halstenson to learn what's required.
