To create a news article in OU Campus, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to your news directory.
Within your department's website is a directory labeled news. Open this directory to create a news article.
Note: The index.pcf file within the news directory is the News Landing Page, which will automatically list a new article after that article has been approved and published.
2. Create a new article.
Click on the new button. Select News Item from the dropdown menu.
3. Enter the article's properties.
Enter a title, keywords, and a filename for your article. The filename should be short and descriptive. It may also be helpful to include a date in the filename, such as fundraiser0412.pcf (for April 2012).
Click Create.
4. Edit the article's content.
Use the WYSIWYG editor to edit content as you would do on a regular page.
Click the Save icon when you have completed your work.
5. Publish the article.
If you are a contributor, see the guide for submitting your work for approval for instructions on how to submit your work for approval.
If you are an approver, you may publish the news article by clicking the Publish button from the page action toolbar.
