Ingeniux CMS
Basic Instructions for Using the CMS
1. Open Internet Explorer, and go to http://igx-dts.vermontlaw.edu/vls/
2. Log in using your Novell username and password
3. The Ingeniux content management system will appear. Click the "Site" tab above the left column; this will display the pages and folders for all the VLS websites.
4. Navigate to the section of the website that contains your pages by clicking the + next to a folder or page. When you get to the pages you want to edit, click on one, and the right column will display the editing windows for that page. You can now add whatever content you want to this page. (If the inside of the "Body Content" box is white, not grayed out, you can edit. If all is gray, try clicking the "check out" button, or click "assign to" and choose yourself from the list. If neither of these fixes works, contact a publisher - Chris Demers or Lori Dubreuil - and one of them will reassign the page to you.)
5. To add a link, go to the Body Content box and type the text for the link you want to add, such as "Travel Reimbursement Form," then click on the little chain icon. Copy and paste the address for the document you want to link to (it would be best to open that page in another browser and copy the URL from there).
6. When you have finished editing, click the "Save" icon (looks like a floppy disk), then click the "Advance" icon (a blue circle pointing to a yellow circle) and that will send the page to an editor review, or to the publisher for publishing.
7. When you have finished working in Ingeniux, just close the browser window to exit.
(Please DO close the browser window at the end of the day, as we often perform maintenance on the system after hours, and can't do that if users are still logged in.)
8. Call or email a publisher if you have questions/problems.
