!
Feel free to contact the Web Team if you might need any assistance or you have a question and/or remark
regarding this How To.
Go to http://prod-portal.cor.europa.eu/en/ (PROD-PORTAL environment is where all the
editing is taking place. Once changes are published there, they will appear on the LIVE version
of the CoR web site – http://cor.europa.eu/en/)
ALL
vacancies
should
be
created
in
portal.cor.europa.eu/en/about/jobs/Pages/jobs.aspx
a
central
location:
http://prod-
1. How to find the Jobs section?
There are two ways to get to this location:
1) On the bottom menu of the web site, you may find the Jobs section under About CoR.
2) Go to the section "About CoR" (http://prod-portal.cor.europa.eu/en/about/Pages/index.aspx) and
select "vacant jobs" or "jobs" in the navigation zone of the "About CoR" landing page.
This will lead you to the Jobs section of the web site.
2. How to upload your vacancy documents?
ALL documents should only be uploaded in the document library of the EN site. http://prodportal.cor.europa.eu/en/about/jobs/Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?View={BF5E5AE5-61CF-475EA323-880F3C60ECFA}&FilterField1=DocIcon&FilterValue1=
In the "jobs" section (http://prod-portal.cor.europa.eu/en/about/jobs/Pages/jobs.aspx) , go to the left
side of the Ribbon on top of the page and select Site Actions > View All Site Content.
You will be redirected in a navigation page in the back office where you will see some Libraries in the
main screen.
Under Document Libraries press on the link Documents.
This will lead you to the following page where you press the arrow next to Type and select (Empty)
in order to browse through the existing document sets created.
Document sets is a sharepoint jargon name for a folder of documents. A document set should
always include various language versions of one same document.
Then go the tab Documents on the Ribbon and press New Document. Select Corweb DocumentSet
from the list.
A popup window will open where you would be asked to fill in the Properties of the new
DocumentSet (you only need to fill in the mandatory ones with the asterisk).
* Under Name you will NOT be allowed to use the slash character (/), so replace by dash (-)
Under Keywords, you will need to put Recruitment as well as the type of Recruitment (Permanent
staff / Temporary staff / National expert).
After finishing with the editing of properties and saving, you will need to upload your PDF files in
your newly created document set.
To do so, go under the tab Documents and press Upload Document. From the list you may either
select Upload Document or Upload Multiple Documents, depending on the amount of documents to
upload.
For your convenience and simplification, since the DocumentSet already has the name and title of the
Vacancy Reference, you can simply upload the documents as EN.pdf, FR.pdf, etc.
After the documents are uploaded, you can modify their properties. You will need to change the
Content Type to CorWeb DocumentSetItem and fill in the Language field (English / French, etc.)
and then save.
In the document properties, you will need to change the Content Type to CorWeb
DocumentSetItem, Name = the language of the document (EN, FR, DE…), the title=the reference of
the vacancy and the Language field (English / French, etc.) and then save.
Important! Fill in the same title (= same reference of vacancy) for each of the document in your
document set since you will need to filter on the title to show your documents on the page.
Check In all documents. You may do so by clicking on the arrow and selecting Check In on the list
(below Edit Properties)
Finishing with the DocumentSet, you will now proceed to the creation of the actual page.
3. How to create a vacancy page?
Under Site Actions, select New Page.
A popup window will appear where you will need to fill in the new page name (use the reference
number with dashes):
The new page is now created (but not published), and we need to fill in the rest of the properties and
elements.
The first thing we need to do is change the Page Layout. In order to do so, we go to the Page tab,
press on Page Layout and select CorWeb Vacancy Page from the list.
Please have in mind that you can only scroll on the list while being on top of your web page,
otherwise you may not see the whole list.
Your page will then have the following appearance:
As you may observe, all fields under Detail of the vacancy notice are dynamic elements. In order to
fill them, we have to fill in the fields at the bottom of our page as follows:
- Nr is the vacancy Reference number.
- Deadline will be the deadline mentioned on the vacancy notice (press on the calendar icon to select
date)
- Directorate: Click on the icon next to the field to select the respective directorate from the list.
Press select and then OK.

AST) from the list. Press select and then OK.

- Scheduling End Date: Select On the following date (date will be the deadline mentioned on the
vacancy notice - press on the calendar icon to select date)
After filling the properties and metadata of the page go to the top of the page on your Ribbon, select
the Page tab and under the Save & Close button, press on the arrow to select Save and Keep
Editing from the list. This will let the changes appear under the Details section, while you will still be
able to edit your page.
Your page should now look like this:
Now we should add the rest of the content of the vacancy notice.
DO NOT copy paste your content text straight from an email or Word into the 'Page Content'
field it will break the website style.
To import your content into the webage, follow the instructions:

The "Editing Tools – Format Text" tab will be activated
Click on "Paste", then select "Paste plain text"
Your content text will now be copied into the webpage content zone.
ATTENTION – The formatting of the text will be lost (bold, hyperlinks, bullet points,…)
To reformat the text correctly, please use the "Editing tools" in the Sharepoint ribbon (similar to
word formatting tools). (see screenshot below)
-
bold
NEVER use italic and underline on a webpage (bad practice: italic (poor quality
readability), underline (confusion with underlined hyperlinking)
ALWAYS format bulleted/numbered list using the Sharepoint editing tools (DO NOT do
it manually)
DO NOT USE: Heading 1 and Heading 2 for titles or subtites (these are already
preformatted in Sharepoint for page titles (heading 2) and banner title (heading 1)
