Change the tool package (furniture)

Look at the picture of the room on the previous page. You will see the tool packages in the left margin. Which tools exist and what they are called depends on which tool template was used when the room was created.

In some cases the Fronter-administrator at your institution will have created some standard templates suitable for your institution's target groups, whilst others will use those that were delivered with the Fronter application.

The tools that are accessible will have their own names in Fronter. One example is Members- these are students and teachers who should have access to the room. Here we have renamed it Members.

Regardless of which tool is being used it can be relevant to change the tool package. This could for instance be to change the titles of the tools to describe the function of the tool, e.g. the tool resources. You may wish to rename the button to Teaching resources, Student folders etc. The tool Room (the start-page of the room) can be renamed Information or something else along this line.

Let us have a look at how this can be done: Click on the option Customise tool package:

In the picture now appearing you can remove/add tools in the tool list. You can also change title (1), description/alt tag (2) (the alt tag when you hold the mouse over the tool) as well as access rights (3):
