Drupal Support - Office Hours

The web team offers weekly online training office hours on Wednesdays at 11:15am. Each 30 minute session focuses on one or two small tasks and will be conducted using Zoom online software.10:00a and 2:00p for any content administrator for Departments, Centers, Institutes or Franklin Research sites.  These office hours are a good chance to ask for specific instructions on how to manage content in your web sites. There may be more than one person dropping in for assistance so we ask you to be patient if you are not the only one who has signed in for assistance.
