Splash Page

When you log in successfully, you should see something like the above. The links in the upper right will take you to the public site. The tabs correspond to different "modules" or functions in SubjectsPlus (description below). The body of the screen has a link to personalize your individual staff page (more personalization options coming later), and below that displays your recent activity in SubjectsPlus.

The tabs:

• Records -- Use to edit or insert a record belonging to the permanent, shared collection of resources. You can also browse all shared resources, see what subjects are associated with what resources, and, in the individual record view, make items appear on the A-Z list (with correct privileges), and make helpful icons (full text, has images, etc.) appear and disappear.
• Guides -- Use to create or edit subject guides. You can also edit a guide's metadata, organize the order of resources in your guides, and "Generate a Delicious Page."
• TalkBack -- Answer and edit the answers to Talk Back submissions. Submissions are made through a form on the website and answered here.
• FAQs -- Create and edit FAQs. Tick of subjects and topics FAQs should be associated with. Organize into collections (e.g., Technology FAQs, Building FAQs, Policy FAQs, etc.)
• Admin -- You might not be able to see this tab, unless you're the administrator. Allows you to create and edit users, departments, source types, etc.
• Logout -- Use this to logout from SubjectsPlus when you're done.
