Add Key Messages

The Key Messages Multi option should be used for all reports that have either key messages or an executive summary.

Add Key Messages Multi

Use a Key Messages Multi block to enter all key messages or an executive summary.

1. From the Content tab in the CMS Create Report editor, select the Add Key Messages Multi content block. 

2. If your report has an executive summary rather than key messages, change the Title dropdown to the Executive Summary option. The Title dropdown controls the heading that is shown on the report webpage and PDF. It will default to "Key Messages" if none is selected.

3. Follow the copy/paste instructions and copy your key messages or executive summary into the field. Reference endnote instructions, if applicable. 

4. Proceed according to report type:

   1. If posting a Key Message Update, add a citation then review and publish.

   2. For other report types, move to Add Section Title and Add Section Content.

Older reports only: Key Messages (Legacy)

If you need to edit an older report that uses the Key Messages (Legacy) block, reference the following tips:

1. Each key message bullet must be pasted into a separate field. Use the Add another item button to add another key message, and the Remove button if you need to remove a field.

2. You should not see the bullet point within the text box, as the CMS will apply a bullet point automatically. Delete the bullet point to avoid getting double bullets on the webpage and PDF.

3. Reference endnote instructions, if applicable.
