Frequently Asked Questions

What follows is the code used to render the list of FAQs above and is only visible to AdminGroup. It grabs all the FAQ's with one search (rather than repeating the search for each section) and then splits them up by subject area. This reduced the load time for the FAQ topic by about 2/3rds. -- LynnwoodBrown - 18 Apr 2015
