Assigning URLs to New Policy Library Documents
Writing New URLs
By following the recommended URL naming convention, we can ensure that the policy owner and subject for each document is easily identifiable.
The recommended format for URL naming is as follows: unit-name/policy-name
Example:
Policy Owner: Policy Office
Policy Title: University Policy Program
New URL: policy-office/university-policy-program
You will always use the same Policy Owner prefix for your policies, and the only thing you will need to customize is what you will use for the policy title. We recommend using the most concise version of the policy name possible, excluding words such as ‘of, ’ ‘the,’ ‘a,’ etc., and separating words with dashes.
