Create a new basic page

Basic pages are used for basic display information for the end user. For example, a page about the history of the department, a page detailing majors or degrees, or a page about study abroad programs are considered basic pages. A basic page is simply a title, with some text in the body, and an optional side bar. Images can be embedded within the body of the page. 

Step 1: Create new Personnel page

First click on 'Content.'

Then 'Add content'

Then click on 'Personnel'.

You should get to this page:

Step 2: Fill in relevant information

The minimum this page needs to have is Full Name, First Name, and Last Name. Everything else can be filled by who will be the owner of this personnel page.

Step 3: Authoring Info

On the far right you will see a box with "Authoring Info." Click on it and fill in the "Authored by" text area with the myID of the new user account. 

NOTE: If you haven't created the new user account, you can follow the instructions on Adding Personnel User Accounts and then come back and do this step.

Step 4: Save!

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the save button.

And that's it! Personnel page created.
