Information Wall

An information wall is a type of H5P content that allows you to create panels of information with custom labels, or properties. Information Walls are searchable and can include images, links, and formatted text.

Create an Information Wall

Create an Information Wall content type

1. Navigate to the Dashboard of your WordPress site. 
2. From the main navigation menu on the left side, select H5P Content.
3. Select the Add New button.
   
4. A new page will open and display the H5P Hub.
   
5. Select Information Wall to open the Information Wall creator.

Create your Information Wall

On the Add New page, you’ll add images and text to create your Information Wall. There are three main sections you’ll need to fill out to create an information wall, a Title section, a Properties section, and the information Panels section.

Title Section

1. Title: A title you’ll be able to recognize later. This won’t appear on your page, but it will appear on the list of H5P content.
   • Tip: You can search the list, so choose a title that will be easy to find, like your last name and a short description, e.g. “Smith – Pets of the Library”
2. Header: The title that will appear on your Information Wall when it’s displayed

Properties Section

The Properties section is where you’ll need to define each section that will appear in the panel. For example, if you want each panel to include a title or name, you’ll need to create a title or name property. If you want your section to create a description, create a description section.

Note: The Properties section will be closed by default

1. Click on the Properties dropdown to expand the Properties Panel.
   
   • In the Label field, enter the name of your first label.
     
   • To display the label in your information panel, check “Show property label.”
     • eg, checking the box displays a property labeled Name as “Name: Sophia Smith“. Leaving the box unchecked displays the property labeled Name as “Sophia Smith“.
   • To make sure that property is searchable, leave “Enabled searching in the property” checked.
2. To add another property, choose the blue +ADD PROPERTY button
   
3. Repeat until you’ve added all of the properties you need to include.

Panels Section

The Panels section is where you can add your actual information.

• Image: Add an image that represents your topic
• Alternative Text: Add a brief description of your image
• Entries: Add your content into each of the properties you created in the previous section.

To add another Panel, choose the blue +ADD PANEL button.
