Fulltext: Policies use fulltext layouts, find out more about fulltext layouts in the T4 documentation. The current section will list the policies added with the policy fulltext pages themselves sitting below the page.
Adding the Description (PDF Content): Content sourced from fixed-layout PDFs often retains incorrect line breaks. To ensure clean formatting, follow these steps:
1. Preparation: Convert the source PDF to a Word document (.docx) or plain text using Microsoft Word or a trusted online converter.
2. Insertion: When pasting the content, use the "Paste as text" option (often Ctrl+Shift+V or Cmd+Shift+V).
3. Review: Manually check and correct any remaining spacing, paragraph, or line-break issues.
Linking: Use a content link to link to a procedure.
Display: The section policies are added to will list all policies in the section. Display policies and procedures by category using the Policy and Procedure Accordion content type.
