Create additional Class Pages

Introduction

After you've published your Profile page, you can begin creating your class pages. This tutorial will explain the process.  Class Pages are sub-pages of your Profile page. You can add a page for each of your classes by following the steps below. Only the items with an asterisk * are required to publish your new page:

1. Log in to The Digital Bell, and click the link labeled "Pages" in the menu at the top of your Dashboard.

2. Click the "Add new Page" link, located in the right-hand margin.
Setting up Your Page

1. If your Web site features the "Page Type" option, select "Classes" from the "Type" drop-down menu. If the "Classes" option is not available, select the "Website Page" option.

2*. Enter the name of your class in the "Title" field (i.e. Algebra I).

3*. The "Name" field will auto-complete based on the title, and does not need input. If you choose to edit this field, do not use any spaces or special characters.

4*. In the "Section" field, select your Profile page (ex. Home / Faculty / Last Name, First Name). By selecting your Profile page as the, your new class page will be linked on your Profile page's "Related" section.

Note: The section you select in this field will end with your name, i.e. Home / Faculty & Staff / Teachers / Smith, Jennifer. If the incorrect section is selected, or no selection is made, your new class page will not be linked to your Profile.

Page Layout and Permissions
8. Page Layout is an optional tool for advanced page organization. This option can be ignored, unless you would like to create a custom layout for your page. For more information please see "Designing a Page Layout."

9. In the Permissions section, add any Users (searchable by first or last name) that you would like to grant permissions to. This allows you to give additional users access to your page (ex. co-editors). By default, you will be given Owner priveleges.
