  3. Select Create > Create Resource Here.

  4. Fill in the Essentials:

    • Title: The name of the affiliate (e.g., "History of Oklahoma's Sod House Design").

    • Template: Select the CFOS Course Template from the dropdown. This is crucial!


2. Editing Template Variables (TVs)

Template Variables are found in their own tab within the resource editing screen.

  1. Look for the Template Variables tab (usually located next to the "Document" or "Settings" tabs at the top of the resource interface).

  2. Input TV data: :

    • Enter all the appropriate data for the affiliate.
    • Year and Semester are used for correctly sorting the courses.

    • Course Icon
      • Upload or Select the icon image (folder: Uploads->center-okstudies->course-icons)
      • File size should be 180px x 180px
