As a Campus Cloud administrator, you can use Studio to create tiles in the campus guide. Campus guide tiles hold all of the content for your college.
You can create different content for different experiences, such as Students, Visitors and Staff. Within each of these experiences you can divide the content into separate sections.
Here’s all you need to know about the different types of Campus Guide tiles and how to arrange them on the campus app.
Types of tiles
Single Item
You can create a campus guide tile linking to a single calendar, service, or organization. Create the item before creating the tile to hold it.
Resource
Resource tiles let you create shortcuts to app content such as the campus map or the dining menu. Different kinds of resources include:
Events
You can display all the upcoming events on the campus app and turn on assessment to mark student attendance and gather student feedback. After you create the Events tile, follow the instructions here to Start Filling Up Events List.
Orientation
You can put all the Orientation events and information in this tile, create a channel for members and even place it as a Featured tile at the top of Home Page. Here’s all you need to know about creating Orientation Programs.
Campus Services
Add college services and place their contact information, hours and link at the top to let students easily access information when they tap on individual services. Here’s how you Create a Service.
Organizations
Help students explore organizations on campus such as clubs and groups. Each organization is added as a Resource List with its logo, contact information, description and web links. Here’s how you Create an organization.
