For Site Editors

New editors - welcome to our new site. This page walks you through the editing registration & training process & lets you know how the Site Manager can help your group with advanced page options.

Who edits the site?

Student groups edit their pages through a designated Site Editor. General pages not belonging to a particular group (e.g. Home, About, SIS Wiki) are edited by the Site Manager. Student groups: if you are having any trouble editing, contact the Site Manager for assistance.

How do we get Site Editor access?

Groups - after you have selected your site editor, the editor-to-be will:

• Select a WMS 300 course day and time.
• Contact the MLISSA Internet Communications Officer. The ICO will liaise with SIS and IT to get you registered.

What can Site Editors do?

Site Editors have the ability/responsibility to:

• View/edit the content of pages and text for the page areas they have access to.
• Add pictures, thumbnails, and documents to pages.
• Add links to other internal or external sites.

We need more done to our page!

As Site Manager, the MLISSA Internet Communications Officer is granted administrative-level access to the site structure. The Site Manager will work on your behalf to:

• Create, move, and delete pages
• Create and position "blocks" within the site.
• Upload content elements not covered by editor access.
• Manage/modify content elements & their settings.
• Communicate with Content & Collaboration Solutions via SIS administration & the ICS Service Desk to request changes that can only be done by the Web Production Group (e.g. changes to navigational style, top banner image).
