Reports, Support, and Other Tips

Reports

There are several useful reports found in the Reports drop-downs in the dashboard.  These reports involve content, users and other system details.  You may view them within Modern Campus CMS or export them as a CSV file.  Of these, Check-Out Content and Site Checks will likely be the most useful. However, if none of the reports seem to quite hit the mark for what you are looking for you can always reach out to the Digital Strategy team for help with getting a custom report generated.

Helpful Tips

Very handy when you need to change that name you put on your site 100 times.
