ARHU Website User Guide: The Basics

1. Content management system (CMS): The application that is used to create and manage content on the ARHU websites. The ARHU sites use Drupal 9 as their CMS.
2. ARHUServ: ARHU's content database that stores all media, directory profiles, news, events and research activities. I.e. a database that stores all dynamic content.
3. Static Content/Basic Pages: A web page with content that lives on your website. For example, the "About" page on the ARHU website. This content lives only on the ARHU website and is not shared with other sites.
4. Dynamic Content: Content that is stored in a central database and shared across multiple websites. This includes media, directory profiles, news, events and research activities.
5. Users: Refers to you, the people using the site. Also refers to anyone with a profile in the site directory. 
6. Visitors: Your website audience
7. Navigation menu: an organized list of links to other web pages, usually internal pages on the site. The menus allow visitors to move quickly between the most important pages on the site. Not all pages on your site are necessarily linked from the navigation menu. The navigation menus on your website are at the top, side and bottom of each page
8. Taxonomy: The taxonomy is the website's organizational structure of a website that helps users navigate the site. On ARHU websites, the taxonomy takes the form of 1) tags (a kind of label) that classify dynamic content into logical categories and 2) Sections, e.g. "Academics."

Step 1: Scroll to the bottom of the homepage of your website and click ‘Log In’ in the bottom right corner. 

Step 2: Once on the login screen, select the red link that says "UMD PERSONNEL & STUDENTS CLICK HERE TO LOGIN" 

Step 3: After going through the University’s authentication process, you will be taken to your profile page. You will also see the toolbar at the top that lets you know you are logged in.
