Search Bar

The search bar at the top of your portal is powered by an artificial intelligent engine that will be able to remember and/or recommend search terms based on previous searches and what everyone else on campus has been searching on.

Tabs

The tabs at the top of the page contain many of the links and access to the content you are used to on the current portal.

An open tab:

Alerts

These alerts aren’t meant to stay on the portal forever. They will expire however, once you’ve read these non-emergency alerts, you are able to close them using the “X” in the top right-hand corner.

Favorites

This is the section for the content and links that you want to be at the top of the page, front and center.

There are two ways to “favorite” content:

  1. Find them in the drop-down tabs at the top and click the star in the top right corner.
  2. You can search for a portlet using the search bar at the top of the page and then click the star in the search results.

Important Content - Top Tier

During our design phase, using an external consulting firm, we conducted interviews and surveyed many students, faculty, and staff. That information was used to structure the various sections of the portal.

Notifications for employees are currently not available. However, once we have a system to send HR and employee related notifications, we will replace one of the portlets currently in this top tier. However, important dates and leave requests were the most requested items for full-time employees. Current updates will be made to this tier for part-time employees.

Most Used

This carousel contains the next most requested content for each role. This information came from the interviews and surveys we conducted during our design phase. This section is not customizable, however, the ability to add additional portlets to the carousel exists.

Upcoming Events

This carousel displays upcoming events for each role. This data comes from our events / calendar. Additional enhancements are planned for this carousel and will be added in future versions.

Recommended Items

Coming Soon. Another improvement to this portal is the Recommended Items carousel and it is still currently in development. It will display recommended content items because of your interactions with other content items as well as other users of the portal. This display will be driven by a recommender system powered by an artificial intelligent algorithm.
