Navigate SOC Menus and Pages

This is a tutorial for class scheduling staff only. No log in is required.

Introduction

This guide reviews how CSUN staff granted security access to the Schedule of Classes (SOC) navigate SOC menus and pages when using the SOLAR SA Application (PeopleSoft blue pages).

How do I log into the myNorthridge Portal to access the SOC?


Step 1

When portal links are not available, access SOC components using the SOLAR SA Application pages.

Select SOLAR SA Application

Step 2

BREADCRUMBS

Breadcrumbs reflect the path taken by users as they navigate through menus and folders.

TIP: Click the "Home" link (top right corner) to jump to the main menu.

Step 3

CASCADING MENUS

Click a breadcrumb to view a list of folders and/or files in that menu.

Hover your mouse over a link in one menu to open the next cascading menu for that link (see red arrows).

Step 4

LOOK-UP MENUS

Select from two menu types:

  1. Lookup menus (click the magnifying glass to view options from a search page)
  2. Drop Down menus (click the down arrow to select an option from a defined list)

TIP: After entering data, use the tab key to advance to the next field. This allows SOLAR to process the information. Wait for the “System is processing” indicator to stop flashing (top right corner) before typing the next entry; otherwise, your entry in the previous field will be lost.
