Button	Description

Save captures progress and navigates the user to the Editor Home or to the List Screen for List editors. See the Editor Types section for additional information.

This save button is usually found within the detail screen of a list editor, such as Goals and Objectives. See the Editor Type section for additional information.

Editor Types

There are two types of editors available: List or Basic editors. When navigating to a Basic editor, the list of fields within the editor is displayed. List editors display a list of all records within that editor. Clicking an existing record or the New button opens the detail view for an individual record.

Editor Lock Out and Release Logic

Only one user at a time can actively work on an editor. A person with a padlock icon ( Screenshot of the Padlock Icon. ) displays in the Editors side panel, Editor Home, and List Screen of list editors, indicating which editors currently have users working on them. Hovering over the icon displays the name of the user who has checked out the editor, including the current user (you).

Editors that are currently being edited are read-only for all other users. The name of the person working on the editor displays in the header.

To release an editor, the user must:

navigate to the next editor by clicking Save and Next or the Editors button and selecting the next editor from the side panel.
click the Cancel button to return to the Editor Home screen.
log out of the Campus application.
navigate to a different tool in the Campus application.

Editors are automatically released when the in-application timeout limit has been exceeded. This is a back-end process and is usually around 30-60 minutes.

Template Banks

Certain fields within several editors have an Add Template icon that displays next to their name. Clicking this button displays a side panel with the available library of predetermined text for that field. Template Banks are managed in System Administration.

This feature is not available for Delaware users.

This adds the template to the queue of values on the right. The red X removes selected templates, while the sequence field can be used to reorder the templates.

Click Cancel to go back to the document. The Clear Selected Template(s) button removes all selected template values from the right selection screen.

Once selections are finalized, click the Insert Selected Template(s) button to add the values to the field within the document in the selected order. Carriage returns separate template values.
