Omni CMS Help for SUNY Orange

New Name and New Number

Since we started using Omni CMS at SUNY Orange a few years ago, the name and version number of the software has changed, as well as the name of the company that develops and supports it. The software was called OU Campus when we started using it; now it is known as Omni CMS. The company behind Omni CMS (when it was known as OU Campus) was called OmniUpdate; now it is know as Modern Campus.

The update from OU Campus 10 to Omni CMS 11 brought some changes to the appearance the software's interface and some new features. Some information about these new features can be found in these help pages and more will be added over time.

While all references to OU Campus and OmniUpdate in the text of these webpages should be updated, some may have been missed. You may also see "oucampus" in the URL for these web pages. Screenshots and videos in these help pages may also show the old OU Campus 10 appearance, but it is only slightly different than the current appearance, so they should still be useful.

Make Use of Modern Campus Resources

The help material provided by Modern Campus for Omni CMS is thorough and useful. Please make use of it.

Don't Hesitate to Ask for Help from SUNY Orange Staff

Even though the help and support material provided by Modern Campus is excellent, it is also general; some of the material will cover aspects of Omni CMS that you don't need to use or can't use because of the way your Omni CMS account is set up. If you can't find the answer to your question by using Omni CMS help, or it doesn't seem to match what you are seeing, or if you are facing a sudden, urgent deadline and don't have time to find the help you need from the Omni CMS material, feel free to ask for help from SUNY Orange staff.

Managing the website is handled both by Institutional Advancement and Information and Technology Services, but the content and appearance of the material on the website is solely managed by Institutional Advancement. For this reason, if you need help with the SUNY Orange website or have any questions, either about using Omni CMS or regarding the website in general, start out by contacting Justin Cole (email: justin.cole@sunyorange.edu, phone: 845-341-4402).
