How can we help?

Set Up Your Rentals Page

In this step we'll learn how to add the Online School Rentals module to a page of your website where your customers can start new rentals. Start by going to the Website part of the system, click on Website > Website Editor, or if you already have the page you need created, you can go to Website > Pages and click on it to open it in the Edit view.

If you need to create a new page for your online school rentals, you go to Website > Pages and create a new one from there, Please click here to learn more about that process.

Once you are viewing the page you want you'll see controls on the page for the content already there, much like pictured below, and you'll want to click +Add Content to add the new module to the page. The Add Body Content area will put it on the main part of the page, below whatever else is already there.

Once you click to add content, you'll see a list of different modules you can add. Scroll down until you find the Online School Rentals module and click Add.

You'll next see the configuration window for the module where you can set up the content customers will see and use to start the process.

Here is how to configure your launch content:

1. If you want, you can use a Heading above the content. If you have an image that doesn't really need a heading, just keep the Show Heading box un-checked. Otherwise, you can either use the default text or enter your own heading text.
2. We start you out with a placeholder image, but if you have unique content, like a custom image using your style, or if you just want to write some text explaining what the customer can expect, whatever you have in this Body area, the entire area will be a clickable link that will let a customer start the rental. But you do need to have something in here or the module will not let you proceed.
3. The page you are working with may not yet be published, so to learn how to publish the page when you're ready for it to be public, the upper link in this area will open a new window with the info you need. If you want to add a link to your main website navigation menu, you can learn how to do so by clicking the lower info link in this area.
4. Once you click to Save, the content you created will be placed on the page.

The web page will load, and if you scroll down, you'll see your new module below any content that was already there.

In the upper left of the new module is its Module Toolbar, and if you want it to be above other content in the Body area, you can click the Up arrow and it will jump up one spot. Continue this process until it's where you want on the page.

Taking It Live

When you have published your Rentals for at least one school, you are ready to take the page live that offers this first step in starting your online rental program. Go to Website > Pages, find the page that has the Online School Rentals module, and click the blue cloud icon to Publish it. In the same manner, if for whatever reason you need to take the page down from public view, the cloud icon will be gold and you can click it to Unpublish the page.

You're all set! Now take a look at the steps your customers will go through in creating their rentals, and also order and inventory fulfillment in the final step in this series.
