--- title: Campus Management at a glance description: >- FuxamCMS is the institution's administrative back office in Campus Management — academic structure, courses, programs, exams, reporting, and related campus operations. sidebar: order: 1 --- **FuxamCMS** is the campus management module of Fuxam Web: the institution's administrative back office. You reach it through **Campus Management**, the central administration workspace opened from the main dashboard navigation. Where **FuxamLMS** is where teaching and learning happen day to day, FuxamCMS is where registrars, academic planners, exam officers, and institution administrators define structure, enroll people, run assessments, and produce institutional data. Campus Management brings together users (via Base), courses, study programs, curriculum, exams, statistics, and related campus operations in one place. It automatically opens to the first page your role permits. If you see a different starting page than a colleague, your [roles and permissions](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management/roles-and-permissions) and your institution's feature packages determine which sections are visible. :::info Campus Management is the *workspace*; FuxamCMS is the *module* of capabilities that live there. Some Campus Management pages also surface Apply (Applications) when Application Management is enabled. People and roles themselves are managed in [Fuxam Base → User Management](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management), not as a CMS-only concept. ::: ## Why it matters Universities need a single source of truth for academic structure and administration. Without it, curricula drift from what cohorts actually study, course rosters diverge from program plans, exam rules become inconsistent, and reporting depends on spreadsheets that nobody trusts. FuxamCMS exists so that: - **Structure comes first** — modules, curricula, terms, and rooms in the Database feed planning and enrollment instead of living in disconnected files. - **Programs and cohorts stay coherent** — study programs, versions, and cohorts connect people to the curriculum they are supposed to follow. - **Operations scale** — course administration, bulk enrollment, exams, and statistics are available to the staff who need them, filtered by permission. - **Compliance and documentation** have a home — health-insurance reporting (GKV), smart documents, and time tracking sit alongside core academic ops when your institution enables them. Getting Campus Management right early — who can see what, which features are on, and how Database relates to Planning — prevents months of confusion later. ## How this fits into Fuxam Fuxam Web is one foundation plus three modules. **Base** holds shared identity and collaboration. **LMS** is the learning surface. **Apply** is admissions. **CMS** (this section) is administration through Campus Management. In a typical lifecycle, an applicant is reviewed in Campus Management (Apply tools under Management), becomes a user with a role in Base, is placed in a cohort and curriculum in CMS, takes courses in the LMS, and is assessed and reported on through Exam Center and Statistics Center. ### How Campus Management areas relate Inside Campus Management, work usually flows from foundational data outward: | Area | Role in the institution | |---|---| | **Database** ([Academic structure](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/academic-structure)) | Modules, curricula, rooms, and terms — the building blocks everything else references. | | **Management** | Day-to-day admin: [Courses](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/courses-management), [Planning / Programs](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/programs-and-planning), and Applications when Apply is enabled. Users live in [Base User Management](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management). | | **Exam Center** | Create, manage, and grade exams when exam management is enabled. | | **Statistics Center** | University-wide exports and personal reports when Statistics Center is enabled. | | **Extended CMS** | [Health insurance](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/health-insurance), [Smart documents](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/smart-documents), and [Time tracking](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/time-tracking) when their feature packages and settings are on. | ## Key concepts | Concept | Meaning | |---|---| | **Campus Management** | The administration workspace. Sidebar groups and pages are filtered by permissions and enabled features. See [Navigate Campus Management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/getting-around/navigate-campus-management). | | **FuxamCMS** | The campus management module: academic structure, course admin, programs and planning, exams, reporting, and optional add-ons. | | **Sidebar groups** | Four collapsible groups in Campus Management: Management, Exam Center, Statistics Center, and Database. Groups with no permitted children are hidden. | | **Role permissions** | Fine-grained rights on a role (for example, read curricula). Without the required permission, a page simply does not appear. | | **Feature packages** | Contract-level capabilities (for example, FuxamCMS — Planning). Sections can be absent for the whole institution until enabled. | | **Institution settings** | Extra toggles (Exam Center, Statistics Center, Application Management, and similar) that must be on even when the package exists. | | **Module / curriculum / cohort** | Academic building blocks: what is taught, how it is structured across a program, and which group of students follows that path. | | **Favorites** | Starred Campus Management pages pinned at the top of the sidebar for quick access. | :::tip If a page you expect is missing, start with [Permissions, features and visibility](/docs/fuxam-web/settings/permissions-and-features). Visibility is almost always explained by the two gates: role permission and feature package (plus any institution toggle). ::: ## What's in Campus Management Campus Management's left sidebar is organized into four collapsible groups. Each group contains pages that are filtered by your role's permissions and by which features your institution has enabled. **[Management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/courses-management)** Courses, Planning, Study Programs, and Applications — the day-to-day administration tools. User management lives in Fuxam Base. **[Exam Center](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/exams-and-reporting)** Create, manage, and grade exams. Exam Center appears only when exam management is enabled for your institution. **[Statistics Center](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/exams-and-reporting/statistics)** Export university-wide statistics and build, run, and share your personal reports. **[Database](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/academic-structure)** Curricula, Modules, Rooms, and Chronology — the foundational data that drives planning and enrollment. ## Roles and responsibilities | Who | Typical CMS work | |---|---| | **Institution administrators** | Enable features and settings, design roles, and keep Campus Management access aligned with job functions. | | **Academic planners / program managers** | Maintain Database, study programs, cohorts, and module planning. | | **Course administrators** | Browse and configure courses, enrollments, and links to academic structure. | | **Exam officers / faculty with exam access** | Work in Exam Center; use Statistics Center where reporting permissions allow. | | **Student services / registrar** | Users and invites (Base), documents, insurance, and cohort membership as applicable. | Access is never implied by job title alone — it follows the permissions on the user's role. Configure those in [Roles and permissions](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management/roles-and-permissions). ## Where to start 1. Read [Navigate Campus Management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/getting-around/navigate-campus-management) so the sidebar and Favorites make sense. 2. Confirm your own visibility model in [Permissions, features and visibility](/docs/fuxam-web/settings/permissions-and-features). 3. If you are building the institution from scratch, start in [Academic structure](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/academic-structure), then [Programs and planning](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/programs-and-planning), then [Courses management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/courses-management). 4. People and roles live in [User Management](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management) — set them up before expecting Campus Management pages to appear for staff. ## In this section **[Navigate Campus Management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/getting-around/navigate-campus-management)** Open Campus Management and understand the four sidebar sections, pages, and Favorites. **[Permissions, features and visibility](/docs/fuxam-web/settings/permissions-and-features)** How role permissions and feature packages control which Campus Management pages you see. **[Academic structure](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/academic-structure)** Modules, curricula, rooms, and Chronology — the Database that drives planning. **[Courses management](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/courses-management)** Browse courses, manage enrollments, and connect courses to academic structure. **[Programs and planning](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/programs-and-planning)** Study programs, cohorts, module planning, organizers, and monitoring. **[Exams and reporting](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/exams-and-reporting)** Exam Center, exam types, rulesets, grading, and Statistics Center. **[Health insurance](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/health-insurance)** GKV and Krankenkassen integration for immatriculation and exmatriculation reporting. **[Smart documents](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/smart-documents)** PDF templates with mapped variables for certificates, contracts, and more. **[Time tracking](/docs/fuxam-web/cms/time-tracking)** Record working hours, review logs, and export time data when enabled. **[Users, roles and invites](/docs/fuxam-web/base/user-management)** Create users, send invites, manage groups, and configure roles in Fuxam Base.
