Create a homepage with an external URL

An external URL homepage displays a web page external to your organization as the course homepage.

1. On the navbar, click Course Admin > Homepages > Create Homepage.
2. Enter a name and description for your homepage.
3. In the Type drop-down list, select External URL.
4. Enter the URL location you want to use as your course homepage.
5. Click Save and Close.

You can use a replace string to populate an external URL for an org unit. If you configure a homepage URL as follows: https://www.bing.com/search?q={OrgUnitId}, the replace string is populated with the users current OrgUnitId when the homepage is accessed.
