Our online training materials are a series of instructional pages which have been organised into two main categories:

• Common Tasks
• Content Types

To learn how to use the system begin with the common tasks videos, as these are the things you'll need to know to be able to maintain your site, for example, modifying existing content and adding different types of links.

The content types resource are a list of all the layouts you can choose from - each web page being populated using different blocks of content with each block using a specific content type of your choice.

The Change Request Process needs to be completed before you can begin developing a new site.

Once you submit the New Website/Change Request Form, this goes to the Digital Operations Group (DOG). This group will review the change request and you will be informed accordingly of the outcomes.
