Add or Restore a Portal Channel

Follow these steps if you need to add or restore a channel.

1
While in the portal, click on the Content/Layout link that appears in the upper left-hand corner of your screen.

Content/Layout

2
The Manage Content/Layout screen appears. Determine which tab you want the channel on and click on that tab label. Selecting the tab makes that page active: the tab label turns blue. (In this example, the Student tab is active.)

Select a tab

3

Determine where on the page you would like the channel to appear (column and position within the column). Click the [Add Channel] button in the appropriate area. (In this example, the new channel will be added at the top of the middle column, just above the Banner Self-Service channel.)

Add Channel

4

The screen refreshes and prompts you to select a Category (Step 1). Highlight a category and click [go]. Select the appropriate category or select "All." (In this example, a student is going to add a channel to the student tab, so he or she selects Student.)

Select Category

5

The screen refreshes. Scroll through the list of available channels (Step 2) and the highlight the channel you wish to add. Then click the [Add Channel] button (Step 3) to confirm that you want to add the channel. In this example, the student selects the Unofficial Student Grades channel.)

Select Channel

6

The screen refreshes with a view of the Manage Content/Layout screen. Click on the "Back to xxxx Tab" link that appears in the upper left-hand portion of the screen. This takes you out of the Manage Content/Layout utility and returns you to the normal portal view. (You will return to the tab you were on when you first clicked Manage Content/Layout; in this example the student will return to the Home tab.)

Return to Normal Portal View

7
Verify that the channel was added to the tab you selected.
