| | | |
− | The User Centric Interface (UCI) provides an alternative interface to SmartSimple 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 roles and menus.
| |
− | | |
− | There are three important elements to be aware of when working with the UCI:

− | [edit]
| |
− | | |
− | ==Personal Transactions==
| |
− | | |
− | These represent items that the user maintains in their profile using the UCI.
| |
− | | |
− | * The administrator defines the transaction types.
| |
− | * Examples of transaction types are education, work history, or publications history.
| |
− | * Each transaction type supports custom fields, a list view template, and the ability to control if the transaction type is available to the user, via the UCI.
| |
− | * Each transaction type can be associated with one or more roles within the system.
| |
− | * These transactions are also visible within the administrative interface for each contact.
| |
− | * When a user subscribes to a folder, their profile becomes searchable to all other users subscribed to the folders.
| |
− | * The 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 interface for the SmartSimple user.
| |
− | | |
− | * The UCI is configured from within the administrative interface.
| |
− | * Multiple interfaces can be created within the same instance of SmartSimple.
| |
− | * The UCI configuration is accessed through the Configuration, User Centric Interface menu.
| |

| |
− | | |
− | 1. Click Configuration, User Centric Interface menu.
| |
− | | |
− | 2. Click the Transaction Types 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 administrative interface, and the UCI.
| |
− | * '''Associated Roles''' - the roles to be associated with this transaction type. Use everyone to associate the transaction type with all 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 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 field list for this transaction type.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Transaction Type List View==
| |
− | | |
