4 Introduction Pete s Pagebuilder is UTEP s departmental content management system otherwise known as DNN. Adopted for its ease of use and adaptability, Pete s Pagebuilder adds new controls to allow the user to easily modify a webpage (portal). With UTEP standardized top bar and footer, adding information or migratingg to Pete s Pagebuilder is easy to do from any computer with internet access, although some users on MACs may have problems if not using Firefox. A new portal willl look something like this: In order to make changes, the user should gain Administrative/update privileges to the portal. This will allow the user to Login using the link on the right hand side of the top bar to open the Login fields. This type of access should only be granted by the site owner once the requesting person has been to training. For training, you will need to contact the Fit Lab at (915) or Instructional Support Services (ISS) at (915) With Pete s Pagebuilder, the user will login with their standard UTEP login and password (ignoring any system generated s).
