How to Add A Tool
These examples show how to add the Dashboard tool, but the same process is applied to any tool that is not available in a course or in a user’s Home (workspace).
Add a Tool to a Course
Copy the site ID:
From the URL: the value between site/ and /tool
From Site Info > Site Information: the value after site/ in the Site URL
Log in as an admin and click on Sites in the navigation
Enter the site ID in the search box
Click the link displayed for your course
On the Edit: Site <id> page, scroll down to the bottom
Click Add/Edit pages
On the next page, click the New Page tab at the top
Enter a title for the tool and click on Tools
Click the New Tool tab
Select the tool from the Features drop-down
Click Save
Refresh your site and you will see the Dashboard in the navigation
Add a Tool to a User’s Workspace
Log in as an admin
Click on Users in the navigation
Search for the user and copy their internal ID
Click on Sites in the navigation and enter the user’s internal ID in the search box
Click on the link returned
The following process is now the same as adding a tool to a course site: scroll down and click on Add/Edit Pages
On the next page, click the New Page tab at the top
Enter a title for the tool and click on Tools
Click the New Tool tab
Select the tool from the Features drop-down
Click Save
Log in as the user and you should now have the tool in the Home navigation, (Dashboard in this case).
