Publishing and Standardizing Addenda
Managing catalog revisions for schools is no small task, especially when accreditation agencies require every change to be properly documented. With our new addendum module, we've made the process seamless and efficient, empowering schools to stay compliant while keeping their catalogs up-to-date. Whether you’re launching a new catalog site or updating your current one, taking advantage of this new addendum feature will ensure that your addenda are accessible, consistent, and in adherence with accreditation requirements.
Custom Addenda to Meet Accreditation Needs
Accreditation bodies often require schools to meticulously track and document changes made to published catalogs. That’s where our addendum module shines. This feature provides a specialized page tailored specifically for managing catalog revisions, allowing schools to list and display all updates since the catalog's initial publication. Our module comes with out-of-the-box functionality that supports most schools' formatting needs. For those needing extra customization, our software can be tailored to fit your institution’s specific needs. Content fields can be created for each piece of required information, ensuring the flexibility you need without compromising on functionality.

Seamless Workflow for Managing Revisions
The addendum module was designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. To simplify the process for your staff, users can document changes on a per-page basis. Each addendum page includes essential information, including a hyperlink to the revised page, a detailed description of the edits, and the date when the changes were made. This straightforward approach ensures that your staff can efficiently manage the revision process without added confusion. Plus, when revisions are made, a configurable link back to the addendum page can be automatically displayed on the edited pages, allowing users to easily see what’s changed. If your institution doesn’t want a link displayed, it’s simple to clear the inclusion text on the backend, and the link will no longer be displayed.
Quick and Easy Setup
Enabling our new addendum feature is a quick and easy process, which the Clean Catalog staff is happy to configure for you! Whether you’re working with a new site or an existing one, we can have it up and running with just a few steps. Your institution simply needs to decide where you want the addendum inclusion link to be displayed on your catalog pages, with most schools preferring to place it at the bottom for easy access. After that, user permissions can be configured to allow the appropriate staff members to add and edit addendum pages. From there, creating new addenda is as simple as filling out a form and selecting the pages to be included. The result is a streamlined addendum process that keeps your catalog revisions well-organized and easily accessible.
The new addendum module takes the complexity out of managing catalog revisions. With a flexible design, seamless integration, and easy-to-use interface, this tool is the perfect solution for schools looking to stay compliant with accreditation requirements while keeping their catalogs current. Whether you're setting up a new site or upgrading an existing one, the addendum module ensures your revisions are handled efficiently and professionally. Ready to simplify your catalog management?
