- Log in. You must be on the AguaClara team to have access to the username and password.
- There is a folder for every team where you can store all of your documents.
- You can share these documents with your personal account so that it is easier for you to edit them.
- To do this: Click share... in the upper right hand corner. Click on Invite People. Add your email address. Make sure the To Edit bullet point is selected. Hit send.
- I embedded the challenges and calendars, and your team leaders will embed the weekly minutes into the wiki so that people can see them/access them from there and they are open to the public for viewing.
- Weekly minutes are not turned in, but expected as a way to organize your team. Record problems, progress, and important details.
- Calendars. Each team has their own calendar. This should be used as a way to keep track of meeting times and deadlines for assignments. To view a certain calendar just click on it so it is highlighted under My Calendars. You can then click on a specific date to add an event.
- You can share the calendars with yourself by clicking on the down arrow next to the calendar name under My Calendars, clicking Share This Calendar, adding your email address, selecting Make changes AND manage sharing under the Permission Settings tab and clicking Add Person.
- It is a good idea to share the cuaguaclara calendar with yourself because it has deadlines and general AguaClara events.
- Matt Karen and Monroe's calendars are under Other Calendars if you would like to make an appointment with them.

Start the tour at the Home page, it can be accessed by typing aguaclara.cee.cornell.edu and clicking "More Resources and Documentation".
- From the home page you can easily access the major branches of the project: Research, Design, and Outreach by clicking on Navigation Menu in the top left corner. Another important branch from the home page is Team Resources
- What is a child page? Each successive branch of the tree is a child page of the branch above it. Design Calendar is a child page of Design, for instance.
- How do you find
- Past research
- Go to the Research to see all of the teams that currently exist and have existed in the past. A typical research page is home>research>Chemical Dose Controller
- Assignments Home>Team Resources>Assignments
- Due dates are all on the syllabus
- the sandbox
- This one is trickier because you cannot navigate directly to it, you have to use the search field. The sandbox is not navigable because it is just a place to play--if you are not sure about how to do something, try the code in the sandbox first so you can test if it works without messing up your own wiki page.

- Log in
- Go to View on the top left of any wiki page.
- Click on Account>Log In>Log in with Cornell NetID
- Creating a new page
- Be sure you are on the page that you would like your new page to be a child page of.
- Click on Edit in the top left corner
- Go to New>Page
- You can add a template for some pages. The "Global" templates aren't useful, but some of the ones labeled "Space" are.
- Naming Pages: Do not name a page too generally. When you use a name, that can be the only time you use it on the wiki. Each team's calendar page is named "Design Calendar" "Outreach Calendar", etc., so that the word Calendar is not hogged by one time. Also the page name becomes part of its web address, so it is helpful to be descriptive.
- When editing a page immediately set the default to Wiki Markup and not Rich Text (rich text seems easy but there are a lot of bugs in it and it is harder to keep our formatting consistent with it, wiki markup is easy to learn and it allows us to all use the same headings, bullets, etc)
- The sidebar give you helpful hints for
- Text Formatting
- Headings
- Lists
- Tables
- To create a link:
- Type the URL of the website and add brackets [] around the outside.
- If the page is on the wiki, you can just type the name of the page (Design Calendar, for instance) inside the brackets.
- If you would like to have someone go to a link by clicking on word instead of a URL (For examples: Check out this awesome website! where clicking on website brings you to google), type a bracket, then the word, then a | then the URL, then the ending bracket.
- You can move the location of a page by dragging it around on the tree at the bottom of the page while you are editing it.
- To delete a page, go to Remove Page on the top right corner while editing it.
- To edit a page that already exists, go to Edit on the top left>Edit this page...
ALSO...
There is another way to update the wiki! Recently developed by Monroe, you can now upload and view Microsoft Word documents on the wiki instead of typing it in the page edit view. This Draft page will show you how it looks.
