How to give other people the ability to manage a group

Published by Andy May 7th, 2007 in ClickUni FAQs. 0 Comments

Management of a ClickUni group (including the ability to edit the group profile, post events and announcements and manage the mailing list) can be assigned to any member of the group - and multiple managers can share the role.

To give other people control of a ClickUni group that you manage, follow the instructions below.

If you need access to manage a group that another person created, the quickest solution is to ask a current group manager to follow the instructions below. If you cannot contact an existing manager or do not know who created the group, contact us.

  1. Go to the Group Management page for the group. This will be found at http://[GROUP_URL].ox.clickuni.com/manage/. You can access this easily by clicking on the “My Account” tab to take you to the page for your account and then click the “Manage Group” icon for the relevant group.
  2. Click “Edit Member Database” to browse the people who are members of the group on ClickUni.
  3. If the person that you want to make a manager is not yet a member of the group, click “Add Members” and then follow the instructions to make the person a member, using their email address.
  4. Find the person in the list of group members and click on on the Edit icon “Edit” icon next to their name.
  5. In the drop down box for “Level” select “Owner” and then click Save. The person now has management control for the group

Announcing the ClickUni Start! page - now available in beta

So, the day is finally here… I’m happy to announce that the ClickUni Start! page is now live and ready for use!

So, what is the ClickUni Start! page? Apart from being the latest feature from ClickUni…

“Imagine being able to search Google, Facebook, Wikipedia and YouTube with one search box. Having the latest news & events from around uni, information from your Facebook friends and your choice of news feeds to keep you updated with life outside the bubble. All this, on one page - ClickUni Start!”

We’ve designed the ClickUni Start! page to bring together everything an Oxford student might need online, all in one place. It works best when set as your home page, giving you quick access to everything that’s going on in your life both on and off campus.

A quick overview of the features available:

  • The integrated search box at the top gives the ability to search all the popular internet destinations such as Google, Facebook, Wikipedia and many more.
  • The clock below the search box gives you the current date - also in Oxford weeks!
  • You can customise the widgets in the main body of the page to display just what you want, how you want it. Add stuff, move things around and hide things you don’t need.

Some of the widgets available:

  • Information from ClickUni: Latest posts and upcoming events
  • Tools: Bookmarks, Calculator, Clock, Weather forecasts and ISIS flag status
  • Facebook information: Your notifications, profile and friend’s birthdays, status updates and recent photo albums
  • News feeds: BBC News and Sport, Cherwell24 or add any other RSS/Atom feed

For the first few days and weeks things might be a bit rough around the edges, so please bear with us! Your feedback during these early stages is invaluable - please let us know your thoughts, comments, suggestions, gripes and requests.. we’ll do our best to listen to what you want and aim to keep constantly improving.

We build the ClickUni Start! page in response to the popularity of the news feeds, links and tools we made available on the right of the ClickUni homepage at www.clickuni.com. People wanted more choice and flexibility, and the combination of external news feeds and content with the latest news, events and society information from ClickUni all on one page made things rather cramped and busy to look at.

With the launch of the ClickUni Start! page we’re breaking off half of the functionality of the old ClickUni homepage to a separate location. Please feel free to use ClickUni Start! as your homepage if you wish, or just visit it occasionally as a gateway to the many sources of information available. In the next few weeks we’ll be redesigning the main ClickUni homepage as the gateway to all the core information on ClickUni, such as the directory of Clubs and Societies and what’s on throughout the university.
