Website Redesign

Faculty Pages in Modern Campus CMS

 

Faculty pages in the legacy CMS system will be migrated to Modern Campus CMS after the rest of the website migrations are complete. However, we know that departments are eager to get their faculty pages in the new format. This tutorial walks through creating a faculty page in Modern Campus CMS manually. 

 

Creating a Faculty Page

1. Acess Modern Campus CMS: From the top of the page, Go to "Content> Pages". 

          Content> Pages

2. Setup Faculty Folder (Optional): 

  • We recommend setting up a “Faculty” folder for better organization. 
  • Click “+New”

           New Button

  • Click “Create New Folder”. 

            Create a new folder  

  • Label the folder “Faculty”. 

3.  Create a New Faculty Page: 

  • Within the desired folder, click "+NEW". 
  • Choose "New Faculty Detail Page". 
  • Fill the required fields: 
  1. Page Title: Use the faculty's name (e.g., Dr. Jane Smith). 
  2. Filename: Use the format "lastname_firstname" (e.g., smith_jane). 
  • Click “Create”. 

    Insert new page

 

4. Edit Page with MULTIEDIT:

Override PeopleSoft Faculty Feed

The faculty feed data from PeopleSoft might have inaccuracies. If you find a significant error that should be fixed in PeopleSoft and the web page, contact Human Resources. Some inaccuracies might be due to field character limits. For web profile-only edits, follow the steps below: 

1. Access the Desired Faculty Page:  

  • Open the faculty page you wish to modify in Modern Campus CMS 

2. Access MULTIEDIT:  

  • Click on the “MULTIEDIT” button (top right).
