In Oncourse, how do I determine my site's siteID?
The siteID for your course, portfolio, or project site
is the string of numbers and letters appearing immediately after
site/ in the site's URL.
For example, consider the following URL:
https://oncourse.iu.edu/portal/site/SU06-BL-CHEM-C360-6497In the above example, the siteID is
SU06-BL-CHEM-C360-6497. Note that for course sites and
practice course sites, the semester, campus, academic department,
course number, and section number are part of the siteID. SiteIDs for
project and portfolio sites are random, automatically created strings
of characters. For example:
In the example above, the siteID is
c9de476e-8c3f-42c7-8006-83274397fbbf.
Additionally, site leaders can find the siteID in the Resources
tool. In your site's menubar, click Resources, and
then click Manage/Download Multiple Resources to view the
siteID.
Setting an alias for the siteID
You can set an easy-to-remember alias for the siteID of any site you own:
- In your site's menubar, click
Site Setup.
- Click
Edit Site Information.
- Next to "Site URL Alias", you'll see the part of the site URL common to all
sites, followed by a text box. Enter the text you'd like to use in place of
your siteID in the text box.
- At the bottom of the page, click
Continue.
- Review your changes, and then click
Finish.
