How do I set my preferences?

Setting preferences is important if you plan on editing or making changes to your section of the website.  This the the first step most people take after logging into the website their first time.  This is the same area where you can make changes to your directory profile by adding a biography, uploading a picture, and changing or updating your title. 

The default editor used in this website is HTML, a web language that most users of our department website do not feel comfortable using.  Changing and saving your preferences to a content editor called 'Kupu' enables you to use tools familiar to those used in other applications, like Microsoft Word. 

Note:  Even if you are comfortable with HTML, it is a good idea to select the Kupu editor because you will still have the option of viewing and editing all pages that you create in HTML format.  When you are in 'Edit' mode, just click on the HTML button to the left of the paragraph pull-down box, allowing you to see all content and formatting.  To revert to Kupu mode, click on the button again, which has moved locations to the left corner of the green editing bar.

To change your content editor to Kupu:

1. Be sure you are logged in
2. Select the 'My Folder' Tab in the upper right-hand corner of the window
3. Click on 'Edit'
4. Select 'User Settings'
5. Under 'Content Editor' select 'Kupu'
6. Save
