Adding Video Content to Research Output and Organisation Pages

You can embed media content on Research Output and Research Units. YouTube and Vimeo are currently the two supported media platforms. This functionality will be rolled out to cover other Portal pages types and other media platforms over the course of future releases.

Getting the URL - YouTube

To embed a video hosted on YouTube, find the video on YouTube.com. From that page you can use one of these options:

• Copy the browser URL.
• Right click the video, and select "Copy video URL".
• Use the "Share"-button and click "Copy" in the dialog being opened.

Getting the URL - Vimeo

To embed a video hosted on YouTube, find the video on Vimeo.com. From that page you can use one of these options:

• Copy the browser URL.
• Click the "Share" button (or icon), and then click the link on the dialog to copy the address.

Adding media content to Pure

Once you have the URL, embedding a video in either a Research Unit or Research Output is very simple.
Just open the record you want to add the video to, paste the video link in the Web address (URL) field, add an (optional) description, select 'Portals multimedia' from the dropdown menu, and click Save.

Adding Hero Image Content to Organisation Pages

Hero images on Research Unit (Organisation) pages can help better showcase the organisation.  

First, you need Editor of Organisation privileges, then find the Organisation Unit you want to add an image for in Master Data and open the editor.

Next, find the 'Photo' section and select 'Add file...'. Upload your chosen image, select Hero image from the dropdown, click Create, the save the record. 

Since the hero image has a fixed height of 300 pixels, we advise a size of 300 (height) by 1920 (width) pixels. The image layout is designed to be responsive, so you will notice the dimensions will shift somewhat according to the size of the screen available.
Note: Large files could add noticeably to the page load time.
