9. Dependency Manager
Every page and file in OU Campus gets a unique ID number
“Dependency Tag”
ID number never changes
When making links, OU Campus uses the ID number, not a URL
Links to files get automatically updated when they move or are renamed
Now, your only broken links will come from deleted files

10. Reusable Content ASSETS
When you want to reuse content and structure/styling
Not customizable on page
Pages update automatically
Five types:
Web Content
Plain Text
Source Code
Form
Image Gallery

11. Reusable Content SNIPPETS
When you want to reuse structure/styling, but keep content unique
Customizable on page
Changes to one page won’t affect other pages
Makes it easier to edit complex blocks of content in WYSIWYG

12. Reusable Content COMPONENTS
When you want to reuse structure/styling, but keep content unique
Uses form fields to prompt for content
Customize content on each page
Changes to the Component’s base code WILL be reflected across all pages with the Component

13. Gadgets
Small apps designed to make your life a bit easier in OU Campus
Gadgets can appear in the sidebar or the Dashboard
Customize which gadgets appear
Gadgets are context-specific
20 (and counting) gadgets available in the system

14. Things to Remember
Enter the system with any DirectEdit link, but may not be able to edit page.
Only one person can edit a page at a time with “check out”.
Check “My Checked-Out Content” gadget.
Dependency Tags are assigned to all internal pages and files only; no external pages or files. Dependency Manager does not manage deleted pages or files.
Assets are added to a page where they CANNOT be edited.
Snippets are added to a page where they CAN be edited.
Components are added to a page where they CAN be edited using form fields
Gadgets will streamline your editing experience
