Modified on: Thu, Jan 27 2022 1:49 PM

Note: The steps below can only be accomplished by a CourseLeaf Admin (Please work with the Office of Academic Affairs or ITS to complete these steps).


Step 1: Create the New Page:

  1. Navigate to the CourseLeaf Admin Console: https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu/courseleaf/
  2. On the left hand side, select "Create Page"
  3. Create the page URL (this should be aligned with the current URL and include everything after the .edu; for example, to create a new page under the DO Program in the Handbook, the URL would be /handbook/do/new-page-title. The URL cannot contain any capital letters or spaces. It is recommended that all URLs contain the page title with a hyphen between each word.
    **Note: You will want to copy and paste this URL, as  you will need it to complete future steps.

Step 2: Update the Page Title

  1. Navigate to the newly created page using the URL added above (*note: you will need to add the https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu before the URL entered)
  2. Click the Edit Page in the upper left-hand corner
  3. Click Setup and update the Title

Step 3: Update the Nav Bar Label:

  1. Navigate to the page
  2. Click the Edit Page in the upper left-hand corner
  3. Click the pencil under the Catalog search bar on the left hand side
  4. Scroll down to the first sub-page under MSBS and click (those sub-pages will highlight in yellow
  5. Click New Link and add the URL (everything after https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu).  Navigation order can also be updated in this place by using the left hand side “move up/down” options.

Step 4: Add Page Owners and Workflows

  1. Navigate to the page
  2. Click the Edit Page in the upper left-hand corner
  3. Click Owners and Workflows
  4. Add users to each box using the green plus sign (Note: Users should be added using the role rather than their username; capitalization does matter; if a role has not been entered correctly it will indicate *no record found* and must be adjusted)

Step 5 - Update Main Page Table

After page titles, the navigation bar, or a page URL is updated, the main table of contents page must be "refreshed".

  1. Navigate to the main section page (ex. https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu/handbook/do/)
  2. Click the Edit Page in the upper left-hand corner
  3. Click "Edit Page Body"
  4. In the pop-up window, click into the predefined table and click OK (edits should populate automatically)
  5. Click OK on the main page editor and links/titles should be updated.

Step 6: Update the TOC

  1. Navigate to the CourseLeaf Admin Console: https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu/courseleaf/
  2. On the left hand side, select TOC Editor
  3. Click on the page in the pop-up window that needs to be edited and update the Page Title or URL as needed; order of pages can also be adjusted here.
  4. Save changes

Note: If significant changes have been made to several pages (updating titles and new additions, you can generate a new TOC using the steps below. 

  1. Navigate to the CourseLeaf Admin Console: https://nextcatalog.dmu.edu/courseleaf/
  2. On the left hand side, select TOC Editor
  3. On the right hand side of the Pop-up window, change the Editing TOC to handbook to the one that needs updating (example: Des Moines University Handbook)
  4. Edit the title of the current TOC (recommended to add a date that the TOC was archived) and save.
