The Global navigation is for the purpose of providing a truly global source of navigation items that are context independent.
They provide direct, accessible links to main gateways and business critical links from any location on any context.
These links provide users access to gateways and identified business critical areas. These business critical links will be identified by a proven high level of access, relevance to the business or user testing and feedback.
To get a link added or amendments made to the global navigation bar, a request must be submitted to the Web Management Committee (WMC). The WMC-Operation Sub Committee (WMC-OSC) will look at your request on behalf of the WMC and notify you of the outcome.
To submit a request, please
email the following address - pwoodhouse@csu.edu.au and CC to web@csu.edu.au
If you are not happy with the outcome from the WMC-OSC or if the WMC-OSC cannot come to a consensus, the matter will then be escalated to the WMC for further consideration.
