Modern Campus CMS v11 Upgrade

See What's New

Pepperdine's web CMS system, Modern Campus (formerly known as Modern Campus CMS), was upgraded from version 10 to version 11 on December 2, 2021. When you log in you will see the updated user interface. All editing access and most all editing steps remain the same as before.

 

 

Major Changes


Interface Design and Function

  • The top menu bar is now white instead of blue.
  • All hover actions have been changed to click actions for improved accessibility. Look for the up/down arrows or the ellipsis to open/close collapsed menu options.

  3. Site Selector: If you have access to edit multiple sites you can switch to another site.

New Naming Conventions

  • The company, "OmniUpdate", is now "Modern Campus"
  • The CMS, "OU Campus", is now "Modern Campus CMS"
  • The "Toggle" widget and snippets are now called an "Accordion" (for standard and faq formats).
  • The "Image Caption Hover" snippet is now called "Image Tile"
  • The "Call to Action" widget is now called "Button"

 

 

Troubleshooting

When you first use Modern Campus CMS version 11, you will want to clear your web browser cache. This step is crucial to enjoy the new look-and-feel and avoid errors or issues.

Some users have reported having issues with logging in for the first time during a session. This happens on some browsers, but if you close the page and click the © to login again it will open correctly (without you needing to type your password again).
