T4 Site Manager training

Bookings for T4 Site Manager training sessions

Once your site is being prepared in T4 Site Manager, you should arrange for any staff who will need to maintain web content in your redesigned site to attend a T4 training session. These are held regularly based on demand. To join the waiting list:

  • go to the Trent self-service site and login with your University username and password
  • select the ‘Learning’ button from the left hand menu
  • from the next page click ‘Learning activity search’ from the left hand menu
  • type the word ‘web’ into the search box
  • click the ‘Select’ button to the far right of the listing for Web Content Management System (CMS) to open the waiting list booking form
  • choose whichever of the options from the ‘Reasons’ drop-down menu seems most appropriate
  • in the ‘Attend’ box, select a date by which you need to receive the training
  • then click the Save button.

This will add you to the waiting list and you will be contacted by Learning and Development with a session date and time when the next one is available.

Training materials

Training notes accompany the initial training session, taking you through the steps to complete various common tasks in T4 Site Manager. You will receive a copy of these at your training session, but you may also download a copy here.
