1) Set up ImBlaze Educator Experience Site

ImBlaze Educator Portal > STEP 1

Educators Site Setup

 This step involves creating the Educator site and configuring the site using the components from the ImBlaze package.  

1. Create Educator Experience Site

Follow below steps to create a new site for Educators 

1. Go to Setup.

2. Click on All Sites

3. Click on New 

4. Choose the Experience Template ‘Build Your Own (Aura)’

5. Click on Get Started

6. Enter the site Name and the URL

Note:   You can give a name of your choice for the site. The URL for the site follows this format: <<Salesforce MyDomain name>>.my.site.com/<<URL Prefix>>. If you don't have an existing site at the base URL, then specifying a URL Prefix isn't compulsory. However, keep in mind that without a URL Prefix, the Educator site will be accessible via the URL <<YourSalesforceOrgMyDomainName>>.my.site.com.  

If you plan to host a business-specific site at the base URL, it might be beneficial to assign a URL Prefix to the Educator site, along with any other sites that are part of the ImBlaze product suite. This could potentially streamline navigation and organization within your domain.

7. Click on Create

     This creates the ImBlaze Educator site in Preview status. 

2. Configure Educator Page

The Educator Portal is developed as a single-page application, providing a fast and responsive interface for users. In this phase, we construct the primary page for the Educator Portal, which serves as the core of the entire site.  We integrate a custom ImBlaze component onto this page, which will manage all website interactions, eliminating the need for multiple pages and navigation configurations. 

1. Go to Builder in Workspaces.

2. Click on Builder. 

3. Remove all the default components from the Home Page.

4. Click on Components 

5. Search for ImBlaze Educator App

6. Drag the  ‘ImBlaze Educator App’ component to the ‘Content’ Section. 

3. Edit CSS

1. Click on Theme icon in the left panel. 

2. Click on Edit css and click on use overrides

3. Set padding to 0

3.1 Theme Settings

Click on Theme Settings

1. Uncheck Set max page width

4. Publish the Site

•  Click Publish

Publishing the site finalizes the structure, layout, and design of the site. At this stage, the site is not ready for end users yet. Permissions for the site, login pages, and ImBlaze specific settings need to be set  before it can be activated for end users.
