| + | {{DeprecatedPage}} |
| | | | |
| − | The User Centric Interface (UCI) provides an alternative [[Interfaces|interface]] to [[SmartSimple]] [[User|users]]. This interface is designed for casual users who need to:
| + | See [[Portals]] |
| | | | |
| − | * Maintain a comprehensive profile.
| + | [[Category:Deprecated]] |
| − | * Network with other users in a virtual community.
| |
| − | * Update projects that they may be participating in.
| |
| − | | |
| − | People whom you want to access the system through a UCI must have an access level of '''Through applications only''' - not Through [[Role|roles]] and [[Menu|menus]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are three important elements to be aware of when working with the UCI:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Personal Transactions==
| |
| − | | |
| − | These represent items that the [[User|user]] maintains in their profile using the UCI.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The [[Administrator|administrator]] defines the transaction types.
| |
| − | * Examples of transaction types are education, work history, or publications history.
| |
| − | * Each transaction type supports [[Custom Fields|custom fields]], a list view template, and the ability to control if the transaction type is available to the [[User|user]], via the UCI.
| |
| − | * Each transaction type can be associated with one or more [[Role|roles]] within the system.
| |
| − | * These transactions are also visible within the [[Administration Interface|administrative interface]] for each contact.
| |
| − | * When a [[User|user]] subscribes to a folder, their profile becomes searchable to all other [[User|users]] subscribed to the folders.
| |
| − | * The [[Administrator|administrator]] defines the folders and associates the folders with each UCI.
| |
| − | * These folders are actually constructs from the [[SmartSimple]] [[Applicant Tracking]] system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==User Centric Interface==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This component is used to create the alternative [[Interfaces|interface]] for the [[SmartSimple]] [[User|user]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The UCI is configured from within the [[Administration Interface|administrative interface]].
| |
| − | * Multiple [[Interfaces|interfaces]] can be created within the same [[Instance|instance]] of [[SmartSimple]].
| |
| − | * The UCI configuration is accessed through the [[Configuration Menu|Configuration]], User Centric Interface [[Menu|menu]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Creating a Personal Transaction Type==
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Click [[Configuration Menu|Configuration]], User Centric Interface [[Menu|menu]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Click the '''Transaction Types''' tab.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Click the '''New Type''' tab.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each Transaction type consists of the following standard settings:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Name''' - name of the transaction type. For example: Education.
| |
| − | * '''Type''' - choose people, for people-related transactions or company, for company-related transactions.
| |
| − | * '''Display Order''' - the order in which the transaction types should be listed, in both the [[Administration Interface|administrative interface]], and the UCI.
| |
| − | * '''Associated Roles''' - the [[Role|roles]] to be associated with this transaction type. Use everyone to associate the transaction type with all [[User|users]].
| |
| − | * '''Use Publication Service''' – indicates that this transaction type can be completed using a web service such as PUBMED. Enabling this option will display a service lookup link in the User Centric Interface when the [[User|user]] adds a transaction of this type.
| |
| − | * '''Built-In Fields''' - there are four standard fields associated with a generic transaction type: start date, end date, subject, and description. If these fields are not required, set their label settings to blank.
| |
| − | * '''Field Button''' - provides a link to the [[Custom Fields|custom field]] list for this transaction type.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Transaction Type List View==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Defines the field list to be used when displaying this transaction type.
| |
| − | * The field order and hyperlink can be set.
| |
| − | * Note - when configuring the UCI, you can overwrite this list view with an alternative transaction view.
