What is OU Campus?
OU Campus is the previous name of Omni CMS; the name was changed in 2021. It was the name of the application when it was first adopted by SUNY Orange in 2019. You may still see the name OU Campus in places on the college website or elsewhere, especially in documentation or help material. When the name of the application was OU Campus, the parent company was OmniUpdate. OmniUpdate is now Modern Campus.
What is Omni CMS?
Omni CMS is web content management (webCMS) software. It allows web page managers to edit the sections of the SUNY Orange website that they are responsible for. It provides a user-friendly interface similar to a word processor. SUNY Orange started using Omni CMS in early 2019. It has replaced Contribute, the previous webCMS at the college, which was long overdue for retirement.
Omni CMS runs in your web browser, so no software needs to be installed on your PC. Don't worry, the website is still secure; only people with an Omni CMS account will be able to log on to the system and make changes to college web pages.
How can I edit a web page in Omni CMS?
The easiest way is to use the direct edit link at the bottom of the web page you want to edit.
You can also use the new user-friendly Omni CMS sign on link, https://omnicms.sunyorange.edu, which will take you to your Omni CMS dashboard. From there, you can navigate to the page you want to edit by choosing Pages from the Content menu.
How do I save my work?
Click on the SAVE button near the upper right corner of the window to save your work. (You can also use the floppy disk icon on the left side of the JustEdit toolbar.) Visit the "Saving Your Work" page for more information.
Where is the Omni CMS sign on page? How do I sign in?
Omni CMS is completely integrated with our single-sign-on system. This means you never directly sign on to Omni CMS.
If you are signed on to your MySUNYOrange account, you will go into Omni CMS immediately when you click on a direct edit link or the dashboard sign-on link: https://omnicms.sunyorange.edu
If you are not signed in to MySUNYOrange, when you click on a direct edit link or dashboard sign on link, then you will go to the MySUNYOrange sign on page first. Once you sign on with your single-sign-on user name and password, you will immediately go to Omni CMS.
How do I sign out of Omni CMS?
Because Omni CMS is completely integrated with our single-sign-on system, you cannot sign out directly, you have to sign out of MySUNYOrange. If you do that, you will lose access to many other college services (including email, the calendar, Self-Service Banner, Blackboard, etc.), which would be very inconvenient. Just remember that anyone who has access to your computer can edit your web pages, just like they can read and answer your email. Always lock your screen when your leave your PC.
