Attention When adding new tools to your course Navigation Bar, please avoid modifying the options on the Top Right and Bottom Right to keep general Carmen navigation consistent for your students.

1. Click Edit Course at the top right of My Home page.

2. Click on NavBars NavBars in the toolbar.

The image “http://telr.osu.edu/carmen-help/instructors/screenshots/edit_navbar.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

3. Select the area of the page you would like the link to appear. This can be chosen by the Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right tabs.

4. Click and highlight the tool you would like to add in the Inactive Links window.

5. Click > to move the link from Inactive Links to the Current Active Links window.

Attention You can also move links from Current Active Links to Inactive Links by clicking and highlighting the link and clicking <.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add more links.

Attention Re-order your Current Active Links by highlighting the links and clicking UPUp or Down Down.

7. Click Preview to view your Navigation Bar with the new links.

Attention Always preview your Navigation Bar at 800X600 to ensure all links will be visible to students. Too many links at Top left or Bottom Left will push links on the right side off of some users' screens. If the Bottom Left Navigation Bar includes too many links, begin adding tools to the Top Left Navigation Bar next.

8. Click Save.
