Policy 5.0.0: Tab and Channel Ownership and Administration
The authority to grant LioNet tab and channel ownership and administration remains with the Intranet Strategy Committee of the Information Technology Services Department. The Intranet Strategy Committee reserves the right to approve or deny a request for a tab or channel according to the procedures outlined in Section 5.1.0. Content that is appropriate for LioNet is content that is specifically intended for Missouri Southern State University-affiliated users. By contrast, content that is appropriate for the general MSSU website is content that conveys the public image of the University and is intended to reach a broad audience including non-University affiliated markets.
All content must meet the naming conventions established by the Information Technology Services (ITS) Department, Acceptable Use Policy of the ITS Department, United States copy right laws, and comply with the State of Missouri Information Technology Accessibility Standards (MO HB 201).
Procedure 5.1.0 Requesting Placement of Content on a Tab or the Creation of a Channel
A request to place content (words, images, other links) should be made by filling out a request form located on the ITS website. The request for content will be reviewed by the Intranet Strategy Committee. If the request is approved, a member of the Committee will work with the requester to place the content on a tab or channel of the portal. The requester is responsible for meeting all of the criteria listed in Procedure 5.3.0.
Content on the login page will be limited to LioNet content administration, system information, policies, and tutorial information.
If the Intranet Strategy Committee denies the request for content on a tab or channel, the requester may appeal the decision by following the steps outlined in Policy 10.0.0.
Procedure 5.2.0 Developing Content
When a request for content on the home tab or for a channel has been approved, the requester will work with a member of the Committee to develop and launch the content. The requester, unless a member of the Committee, will not be granted administrative rights to directly place content on LioNet. All content must first be developed on the test server. Once the content meets the specification of the requester, the content will be moved to the live LioNet site.
In the event that the content developer and the requester cannot agree on the formulation of the content, the proposed content will be reviewed by the Intranet Strategy Committee, who will have final say over the production issue. The requester may choose to withdraw his or her content at any time.
Procedure 5.3.0 Time Sensitive Content
Any content that contains time sensitive or dependent information, for example:
must set a date when the content will expire. The requester must then choose to provide follow up content or instruct the Committee member to completely remove the content/channel when it has expired. The requester or Committee member has five (5) working days from the specific date of the event to change or remove the content. In the case of visual imagery, the requester is expected to change images as appropriate to the season.
Procedure 5.4.0: Review of the Login Page, Tabs, and Channels
The home page and all channels will be reviewed at least annually by the Intranet Strategy Committee. The chair of the committee may choose to convene a review committee more frequently as deemed necessary.

Procedure 5.3.0 Time Sensitive Content
Any content that contains time sensitive or dependent information, for example:
- information containing a specific date and/or time, or
- information about a specific event (e.g. Spring Fling), or
- information that is time sensitive (e.g. class cancelled due to weather), or
- an image that is seasonal (e.g. winter snowscape of campus),
must set a date when the content will expire. The requester must then choose to provide follow up content or instruct the Committee member to completely remove the content/channel when it has expired. The requester or Committee member has five (5) working days from the specific date of the event to change or remove the content.
