FAQ Content Type

The FAQ Content Type was created for the purpose of extensive information that has a clear title and information that would need to be filtered and categorized. While the name is "FAQ", that doesn't mean it has to be limited to a question vs answer accordion. Please note that every accordion (question/answer) is a separate page that is being created using the FAQ Content Type. 

To use the FAQ Content Type for a website, a Service Link ticket needs to be created for the Campus Web Solutions Team. This content type is disabled by default. 

Example of the FAQ Content Type in action, separated into categories.
