When will I be trained in Day?
When your site is converted to Day, you will receive training. We'll contact you several weeks prior to your site conversion and arrange the training at a time that's convenient for you.
How will my site be converted from Collage to Day?
This will be handled by the Web Tech Group, using a custom script that migrates BC.edu templates in Collage to those same templates in Day.
How will the conversion process work?
- Please contact the Web Technology Group: websupport@bc.edu
- OMC and Web Tech will work together to prioritize the site requests as they come in.
- Someone from the Web Tech Group in ITS will contact you to let you know your site is in the next batch of sites in our queue.
- With 200 web sites to convert, the process will take more than a year. Several months could pass from the time you submit the form until you're contacted.
- The Web Tech team will convert 2-5 sites each week, depending on the size, complexity and technical issues involved with each site
- Converting a site that uses custom templates will be a separate project and will require significantly more time to convert. These will be treated as individual projects and we'll work with the site owners and OMC to schedule this work.
- With 200 web sites to convert, the process will take more than a year. Several months could pass from the time you submit the form until you're contacted.
- You'll be invited to a training session on how to use Day's CQ5 software.
- When you complete the training, your site will be available in Day, ready for you to work on.
- When you're comfortable editing the site in Day, you can contact the Web Tech team and arrange a date on which the new Day site will be launched. (We'll need at least 10 days notice).
- The Web Tech team will perform the initial launch to ensure there are no issues. Your Collage site will be archived, and you'll use Day from then on.
I signed up a while ago. Where is my site in the queue?
Currently we're planning 6-8 weeks out. You'll hear from us several weeks before your planned conversion. If you have further questions on the site conversion queue, please contact Brock Dilworth in OMC.
