News Archive views
Unless otherwise stated below the archive pages are handled by drupal's taxonomy term view (taxonomy term). Which has been modified with the necessary fields.
Composite Views
A different procedure was used in order to accumulate data for view pages because of the amount of taxonomy terms. This method however does not work with multiple tags. This is the need for the composite pages
All News, All research: composite pages
All news attachment, All Research Attachment: Responsible for displaying large single item found at the top of given archive page
Related News

Under Contextual Filters
Breakdown of how contextual filters function together:
First the block uses "content: Nid" to collect what page is currently being viewed. From there "content: has taxonomy term ID" will find what terms are available for the given NID and display content with those terms only
- Content: Nid
- "When the filter value is not available"
- Provide default value = "Content ID from URL"
- Note: Will search for content specific to the active page
- Content: Has Taxonomy term ID
- "When the filter value is not available"
- "Provide default value"
- Type = "Taxonomy term ID from URL"
- click "load default filter from node page..."
- Select "limit terms by vocabulary"
- Select "news" vocabulary
- Under multiple-value handling
- select "filter to items that shar any term"
