PUC Admin Tools
Here is the first look at some of the admin interfaces that we have built for puc.edu. Most of these are used to distribute adding and editing of content. We chose to not use the _edit simple edit interface in most cases, as the limitation of only one layout per asset is the deal breaker for us.
When a user is logged in, they see the Admin Interface banner at the top of any page they are visiting. That way the have a drop down menu with quick links to any of the admin tools sections. They also have the option of changing their user details be clicking their username.
This is a look at our Announcement Hub Admin, which is where Announcements are edited, status updated, linking changed, deleted, previewed, etc. This lets us quickly make changes to many assets in a short period of time. Rather than taking the time to enter simple edit for each asset, this is much faster for us.
This is the interface for adding "Campus Emergency" mode to our PUC website. This was created in response to different campus emergencies across the country. When activated by a user with the correct permissions, it will change the design of the homepage. This new design will contain all the relevant information pertaining to a campus emergency.
This is our asset builder for creating new Users/Employees in our Matrix site. There is the option of creating Academic users or Non-Academic users, each of which will be linked into their selected section.
These images show our News Item builder. It uses two different asset builders. The first creates the news item into a dynamic create location. The second asset builder will upload an image under the newly create news item. It uses the news items ID passed as a GET variable to create the image under the correct news item.
This is just a few of our Admin Tools that we are currently using. I hope to add more soon to give you a better idea of how we are letting users manage assets.
