Getting Started with uPortal.Cornell:
How to add entries to your portal display

Add a channel (an entry for a single topic or service)

1. Click on the Customize button in the upper right corner of the portal window. The portal window changes to a User Preferences window.
2. Decide where in your portal window you would like the new entry to appear: left or right column; top, middle, or bottom?
3. Click the New Channel button at the location you've chosen (or, to replace a channel that's already there, locate that channel and click the Select Channel button).
4. Open the "Select a category to browse" pull-down menu and choose the category where you expect to find the information you'd like to add, or click "Select All" (warning: this may be very long!). Click the Go button.
5. A "Select a channel" box appears to the right of "Select a category." Scroll through the list of channels and click on the one you select.
6. Click the Add button.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for as many channels as you would like to add.
8. When done, click the Home button in the upper right corner of the window to open your modified portal window.

Add a column

1. Decide where you would like the new column located--left, right, or in between the columns you already have.
2. In the "User Preferences" window (see step 1 above), find and click on the New Column button at the location you've selected.

Create a tab

1. In the "User Preferences" window, click on the New Tab button.
2. "Steps for adding this new tab" will appear. Enter a name and select a position for the tab, then click the Submit button.
3. Follow the "Add a channel" steps above to add contents to the new tab.

When you're done...
