MyLaw Help

In MyLaw, the Portal Content Management/Targeting Site provides members of the UCLA Law community with information about school departments, centers & programs, student organizations and publications. Departmental information, documents and announcements can be targeted to specific groups, e.g., all faculty, all students, 1st year students, etc.  Pages and documents can have expiration dates when they are are no longer displayed to these audiences, but expiration dates can be removed or reset enabling pages to be reused.

A Department Portal site has four main sections: 

• Department Information - the main content area of the Department Portal Site that your audience sees when they arrive at your site.
• Department Content Pages and Links - additional web pages within your site or links to outside pages.
• Department Documents - the collection of files that you share with your audiences.  Files can be of any type.
• Department Announcements - departmental news.
• Department Events - department sponsored Events.
• Department Deadlines - important deadlines.

The easiest way to create new content on your Department or Center MyLaw site is to Use the "Create" link in the upper right corner of the MyLaw banner.

Once you click "Create" you must select the type of content you wish to create on your site (Announcement, Event, Deadline, Content Page or Document).   If you belong to more than one department or center, you must also select the appropriate site for which you are creating new content.

Once you select the type of content and the specific site, click Next.  This will take you to the form that must be filled out to create the new content.  (Please see the separate boxes for detailed instructions about creating announcements, creating events, creating deadlines, creating content pages or links, and creating documents.)

The admin view of your MyLaw Department Portal Site looks different than what your audience will see.  The following diagram matches the admin view with the view your audience(s) will see.

Be sure to have a home page for each targeted audience.

If targeting content to faculty and/or students, be sure to also target it to staff if you think they may also need to view this information.

File Size Limit:  There is a single file size limit of 50mb. If your file is larger than that, you will need to break it into parts of 50mb or less.

File Number limits: There is a limit of 100 files when using the "upload multiple" files feature.
