The minibar enables you to switch in between units; navigate to CloudDeakin Home page; receive notifications; and update your profile and preferences. NAVBARS Understanding Navbars The Navbar (or navigational bar) is a banner that displays the unit title and its set of links across the top of all unit pages. It is used to navigate between tools and Home pages. Each unit has its own Navbar that links to relevant tools for that unit. Tools can be unit specific or organisation-wide depending on their purpose. For example, if you click the Grades tool link in a unit Navbar you are taken to the Grades tool for that unit. The NavBar is always available when navigating through a site. Navbars consist of two components: a Navbar template, which controls the visual theme of the Navbar; and the Navbar itself, which controls whichever links are available for the unit. Default Navbars will be provided by your Faculty or School. Unit Chairs will be able to make a copy of the default Navbar and add additional links and tools. Navbars are Faculty or School specific. Note: In general, add tools that you want students to use to complete unit work (Assignments, Grades, etc.) to your unit Navbar. You cannot add all tools and functionality to a Navbar. Some tools, such as tools for personal administration (Preferences, Change Password, Profile, etc.) or tools for unit administration (Home page, Forms, Metadata Administration, etc.), are accessed from widgets on Home page or CloudDeakin Home page. To access the Navbars tool: Click on Setup on the site Navbar. Click on Navigation. Creating a New Navbar for Your Unit Your unit Navbar should contain all the links your students need to complete the unit (such as Grades and Assignments), and personal tools they might want to use (such as ePortfolio). It should also include links to navigate to Home page, CloudDeakin Home page and Logout. The list of links you can choose from depends on the tools your Faculty uses, and the tools that you enabled for your unit. Typical Navbar link locations: Top Left: Display the Unit code and name Bottom Left: Home, Content, Discussions, Assessment (Assignments, Grades, Quizzes), My Tools (DeakinAir, User Progress, Locker), More (Classlist, Groups, Media Library), ePortfolio and Setup. On the main Navbars page, click on Copy from the context menu of the Navbar you want to copy. Click on the title of the copy Navbar to edit. Change the Name and Description of Navbar. Click on Add Links button located in the bottom right box to add extra links for students. Select the appropriate tools and click Add. To modify the order of the link, drag and drop the link. Click Save and Close. To preview the Navbar, click Preview from the context menu of the Navbar you want to preview. To activate the newly created Navbar, click on the drop-down list of Active Navbar. Select the appropriate Navbar and click Apply.
