We are excited about OU Campus and the extensive features and functionality that it offers. Take a look at OU Campus site to find you favorite features. My favorites are (really all of them are!):

  • Save-in-Place — Working in the WYSIWYG editor, content can be saved without exiting the editor. The function saves any changes made in the editor to the staging server, while allowing the user to continue working.
  • Page Check — Any page managed by OU Campus can be checked for broken links, spelling, and W3C compliance any time during the review process.
  • Site Check — Authorized administrators can check all website links, both internal and external to the site, with ease. Users have the option to follow link redirects and set timeout rules to ensure that links are in an optimal state and can view reports of broken links by page or by link.

We are excited about the possibilities in the OU Campus CMS system and we look forward to working in a new and powerful environment to manage our web content!
