Introduction to Web Platform 

We created this knowledge base with guidance and support from our UC Davis and UCLA main campuses. This site will grow iteratively as we roll out this new service to the UCLA Health Sciences.

We have already started to migrate the UCLA Health Sciences departments to the Web Platform. 

We encourage you to review the Glossary of Terms and Roles and Permissions Matrix to see what kind of work you'll likely be assigned to do in your site. This will help you understand the scope of the training you'll need.
