The Missouri State Web Design System was officially launched August 22, 2022. 

This system provides guidance to those who collectively support Missouri State’s web presence. 

Within this system, you will find:

  • The Missouri State brand toolkit for the web.
  • How to structure your page with templates and grids.  
  • A guide to the elements and patterns available; in what form they are offered in Omni CMS; and how they may be best used. 
  • Guidance for incorporating images, videos, icons and charts within your page layout. 

To further serve you, training is available through the following:

  • Online step-by-step instructions for completing common tasks
  • Missouri State Videos in Stream
  • Omni CMS Online Support
  • Omni CMS Support training videos

Training is still provided through Web Support — with additional support available by phone, Zoom or in-person (by appointment).

If you have any design questions, contact Valerie Cummings at 417-836-5670 or VCummings@MissouriState.edu.

Omni CMS training available for migrated university websites

April 6, 2022 by Valerie Cummings

Over 25% of university websites have now been migrated to the new Omni content management system.

Once your site has been successfully migrated, as content editor, you will be contacted and automatically enrolled in our Basic Omni CMS Training in Blackboard. This Blackboard training course has been split into 5 sections with a short quiz for each section.

After scoring 100% on all 5 section quizzes you need to submit a Training Completion Form, which will notify us for verification.

You will regain editor access to your site through Omni CMS once your training completion has been verified.

After training, drop by our Web Editor Open Lab, available every Friday (2-4 p.m.) in Cheek 100, to receive additional in-person support with Omni CMS. Our sandbox training area will also be available by request for those needing more hands-on training.

You may also find step-by-step guides to using Omni CMS within the TeamDynamix knowledge base.

In addition, you may visit Omni CMS Support online for training videos written specifically for content editors.

Questions?

Contact the Web Support Help Desk available 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday-Friday, excluding university holidays.
