MyPostings Modules

A MyPostings Module only displays your site's or page's MyPostings feed. Visit the MyPostings documentation for how to create a posting in the MyPostings system.

A MyPostings module pulls news or events from the on-campus news events system, MyPostings. The only items that will be pulled into the module are items associated with your department in the system. Each site is associated with a MyPostings ID. If you feel at any time that your MyPostings modules are pulling the wrong items, please submit a ticket to http://www.sandiego.edu/web-requests/.
