Adding a New Page

Hero is designed to be flexible to meet the varied needs of different school contexts. School administrators can add pages, edit the settings and delete a page if no longer required. This article explains how to add a new page to your school's software.

TO ADD A NEW PAGE

1. Navigate to the Administration menu. If you have a wide-screen device this will already be visible on the left-hand side of your screen. If not, click on the site administrator menu icon at the top left-hand side of your screen

2. Under the heading Site Setup select Pages

 

3. Here you will see a list of pages currently available for your school. To make a new page click the + at the bottom right hand side of your page 

 

4. Ensure the Page Type is set to Student or Staff as applicable

5. Enter the Page label you wish to see on the student menu pop up button. Generally, this will be short, 1-2 words

6. Enter the Page title you wish to see at the top of the page when it is opened. Generally, this will be a short phrase

7. Select an icon to help identify the page. Click on the box and choose an image 

You can use the filter box at the top of the image picker to narrow your choices

9. Select the content you want visible on the page. Adding different types of content will change the settings options.

If you wish to have your page include assessments, after ticking Assessments, enter the names of the assessments you want available for staff to enter scores into. 

Pages are able to have a combination of posts, assessments and goals.  If a page is set to allow for both posts and assessments, the user can determine if an entered post is stand alone or linked to the assessment.
