Creating a New Academic Year

Every page in the above referenced folder represents one academic year.

Because the School of Law only shows three active academic calendar years (previous, current, next) you can easily repurpose the oldest calendar page for the new year you need to create. This will allow you to retain all the items in the calendar, requiring you to only change dates.

Example:

Rename the Oldest Page

  1. Locate the oldest year page in the folder you navigated to previously. Pages are denoted with the following icon:

  2. Right click on the oldest page and choose More → Rename.

  3. Please keep the same naming convention when you rename the page, then click the blue Rename button.

Step 3

Rename the Oldest (and Corresponding) Block

Every page has a respective “block” that contains all of that year’s events. It will be named the same as the page, but with “items-” prepended.

Once the proper block has been identified, you can rename it to match the academic year you are adding.

  1. Right click on the block and choose More → Rename. Remember, blocks are associated with the following icon:

  2. Please keep the same naming convention when you rename the page, i.e. only change the year and leave items- intact, then click the blue Rename button.

Example:

Step 2

Edit the Renamed Page with New Dates

  1. On the newly renamed BLOCK, go into Edit mode.
