Creating a navbar

Notes

Create a navbar

  1. On the Navbars page, click Create Navbar.
  2. Enter a Name and Description for your navbar.
  3. If you are creating a navbar at the organization, department, or course template level, select Share with child org units to share the navbar.
  4. If you want to select a different navbar theme, click Change Theme.
  5. Click Create Custom Link in a link area if you want to create and add a custom link to the area. Complete the Create Custom Link form and click Create.
  6. Click Add Links in a link area to add existing links and link groups to a navbar. Select the check boxes beside the links you want to add and click Add. Click and drag a link to move it to a different link area or reorder it within the same link area.

    Note  The list of links available depends on the tools your organization uses, the custom links and link groups available, and the tools enabled for your course. See Setting up course tools for more information about course tool availability.

    Tip  Add the Admin Tools link to a link area to access the Admin Tools menu. You can use this link to replace the Admin Tools widget, or include it as an additional access point.

  7. If your navbar theme includes a Title panel, you can click on it to modify the title displayed. Make your changes and click Hide Properties.
  8. Consider renaming each link area's heading to provide better wayfinding language for screen reader users. See Rename a link area for more information about renaming link areas.
  9. Click Save and Close.
