Login

1. Open Internet Explorer

3. Enter your User Name: medical\yourusername
4. Enter your network password (the same password you use to log in to your computer)
5. 
5. Click OK
6. The first time you log in to Ingeniux, you will be prompted to install two signed controls onto your computer. Click Yes in each of the dialog boxes and the controls will be automatically installed for you.

Parts of the User Interface

The Ingeniux user interface consists of three main elements: the Information Pane on the left, the Edit/Preview Area on the right, and the Toolbar at the top of the window.

• The Info Pane contains a list of pages assigned to the current user when the Assignments tab is selected, a search pane if the Search tab is selected, or a tree view if the Site Map tab is selected
• The Edit/Preview Area is the main editing area for creating/revising pages
• The Toolbar contains buttons you will use to create pages and publish them to the Web

Site Map/Site Folder

When you click on the Site Map tab in the Info Pane, your site content is displayed in a hierarchical directory, which more or less coincides with the structure and navigation of your web site.

• Items in bold are marked for publish; items not in bold are not yet marked for publishing
• Icons in the Site Map indicate the status of pages: A grey icon indicates a page is checked in; a color icon indicates a page is checked out
• Icons in the Site Map also indicate whether an item is a folder or a page

Moving/Copying Pages Within the Site Folder

The Site Folder displays all of the pages and folders in your web site. To access the Site Folder, click on the Site Map tab in the Info Pane, then double-click on the Site Folder. The Site Folder provides a way to change the order of items on the site - changing the order of items in the Site Folder also changes the order of items in your site's navigation.

• To move a page, click on the page you wish to move, and drag it to its new location
• To copy a page, hold down the Control key while you drag the page
• The system will display a warning before you move a page to a new location - click the Yes button to continue or No to cancel
