An introduction to T4 – compulsory for all new T4 users

Welcome to our T4 introductory training. In these videos you'll learn how to:

  • log in and navigate T4
  • create simple text-based content types
  • use the photograph and document library
  • upload images to go alongside text-based content

You’ll also learn a bit about best practice when publishing to the web, the University's brand guidelines and the importance of making our website content accessible.

Please ensure you have read the guidance in the publishing to the web area of the Staff Zone, including the T4 user guide and the code of practice for publishing to the web, before you start watching the videos.

Please note: You will need to follow the steps in the video to create your own page within the training section of T4. It is therefore advised that you watch the video on a separate device so that you're able to follow the steps on your computer more easily. Once you've created your training page, you will need to complete the short multiple choice test below – then you're ready to request your T4 account!
