Editor's Notes
- This briefing is intended as an introduction to RIBI-T for the members of a club that does not use RIBI-T for its club website. Please edit this slide to show your club name in place of Oldmeldrum. It covers: District URL What’s on the District Homepage Finding Your Username & password Logging on Members only area Changing your personal details Inserting your Photo Setting your email options Club Members only area – District Pages Emailing Rotarians Help and How To Next steps
- The short URL is easy to remember and redirects to the long URL Bookmark or add the long URL to your favourites. The long URL will load more quickly. This URL takes you to the District 1150 website Homepage. All the information and facilities on this page are open to the public.
- If you have difficulty reading the text on the website then you may select a larger print size. The Navigation Bar takes you to some highlights of the Homepage: Home returns you to this page. Events is a very useful list of forthcoming events and information about each. Areas shows the AG and club details for each area. Club List, map, venue and timings. Contact us provides a form for sending a message to a District Officer. Recent News contains links to the 5 most recent News items posted on the District websites. These may be club items marked for District interest. Quick Links are what they say. Including a link to The Mailbox Action Groups/Committees are links to the main page of each District committee or project or other major item. Special Note Help – How To and Where to find. Quick Links are a series of other links. Including, temporarily, a link to the mailbox.
- The central column of the Home Page contains information about the most recent activities of the club that may be of interest to the public. This is the only part of the Home page that is fully editable. All of the rest is automatically created from data entered elsewhere. At the bottom of the central column is a list of: clubs’ charters and major events taking place in the district during the next 28 days. Finally note the Contact Us button. There is one on most pages. These should be used to feedbck comments about the page.
- RIBI-T is one website for the whole of RIBI, all clubs have a presence. The Public Pages can be seen by everyone. [Green] You can go to the Members’ Login on any RIBI-T website and login. [Green] But this only gives you access to your own club’s Club Members Area and your District Members Only Pages . [Pink] You cannot access another District’s Members Only Pages or any other club’s Club Members Area. [White]
- When you click on the Members Login button on the Navigation Bar you see this screen. If you have not been told your username or password , or if you have forgotten it, then click on Forgotten Password. You will be asked for your email address and, provided it is the same as the one that has been entered into the system for you, an email will automatically be sent to you with your username and password. This email should be sent within a few seconds. If you do not have an email address then your club administrator will provide you with a username and password. It is important that you ensure the email address on the system is kept up to date or you will not be able to use this method of recovering your username and password if you forget either of them. When you have your username and password return to this page and enter them in relevant boxes and click on Login. If your login fails, try again, taking care to enter your data accurately. If this still does not work press Login Problems and try the suggestions there. If you are still unable to gain access then contact your club web administrator. Your information should have already been added to the system. Under no circumstances try to Register yourself – contact your club web administrator.
- Now you have access to the Club Members Only Area. Note that the Navigation Bar is different from the Home Page. Future Programme lists all of the forthcoming meetings and events including those that have been marked as Members only. Club Forum is an area where you can post comment about club matters in the form of a blog. Club Administrators will see additional entries in the Navigation bar and in the left column. District Officers will also see links to their committees above the District Governor entry on the right. On several pages you will see a red Tutorial button. This takes you to a section that takes you through how the website works in greater detail. You will be given more information about how to obtain help later in this briefing. The next task that you must carry out is to check and update your own details. Click on “Update my details”.
- Check that your First Name, Surname, Membership Type, Email address if you have one and gender have been correctly entered. Correct them if necessary. Note that it is possible to change your username – please do this on its own not along with other changes as it navigates you away from this page. You must change your password if you have not already done so. The rest of the fields are optional but desirable. They are only visible to District 1150 Rotarians who have logged in. If you feel that you would like your information to be available to other members of this club but not to Rotarians in District 1150 then tick the Privacy Option. If you do not wish your information to be available to anyone else then delete your data from those optional fields. More about email options will be provided later in his briefing. Remember to click on the “Update Your Details” button. The reasons for entering this data are: Your club may wish to use it as a membership list instead of a paper version. One good reason for this is that it can be instantly updated. The club handbook can be printed off using it. With the privacy button ticked it is no different to your club handbook: it is only visible to your club Rotarians.
- Sometimes when you click on the Update your details button you will see this screen. Please be patient and wait 5 seconds. If you still have nor been redirected then click on here as indicated.
- Update my photo: If you have a head and shoulders/passport style photograph of yourself then personalising your entry by adding it is great. It can be any size but preferably wider than 125 pixels as the system will scale it down but not up. The height should be the same as the width or up to one and a half times the width. This button lets you browse to and upload a photo on your hard drive. Email options: Click here. The options available are on the next few slides.
- This screen collects your options. Email signature gives you the opportunity to create a salutation that will automatically be added to the bottom of all of your messages. For example: Yours in Rotary Bob Wilson Rotary Club of Cowbridge District 1150 As this will go to all recipients be wary of including your address, phone number and email. “ Send Email” button In some places on the public pages where your name appears it is possible to also include a button alongside “Send Email”. This provides a means for a member of the public or another Rotarian to send you a message without knowing your email address. The message includes a check sum that helps prevent you from receiving computer generated mail. If you are happy to have this button beside your name on the Club website then tick that box. Likewise on the District website. If you are not a district officer then your name will not appear on the District Website anyway so ticking this box does nothing . Automatic Notification When a new page or report is added to your committee pages the author (committee chair) may select to have an email sent to all members of the committee informing them that new information has been posted. Similarly when a new page or report is added to the website the author (club secretary) may select to have an email sent to all club members informing them that new information has been posted. This is a very powerful and useful tool and I recommend that you tick to receive such notification. If you find that you are receiving too many or frivolous notifications then I suggest that you ask the author to be more discerning about their use of this facility. If that does not work then uncheck this box. The same applies if you are on a District Committee you may elect to receive notification of new reports for that committee. It only applies if you are on the committee. If you would like to receive notification of new public pages on the District website then tick the box. Updates This facility is designed to inform the District Secretary if a District 1150 Rotarian has changed their contact details. I recommend that you do not tick this box otherwise you will receive a lot of uninteresting emails.
- RIBI-T is one website for the whole of RIBI, all clubs members have a presence. You can of course elect not to add any personal details to the website but you will not appear in club or district directories. If you select to have the “Send Email” button beside your name then this can be seen and used by anyone who can access that site. [Green] You will only have a “Send Email” button on the District site if you are a District Officer. They cannot see your actual email address or any personal details. If you have ticked the Privacy box then only Rotarians in your club, who have logged in, will be able to see your details. [Pink] If you do not tick the Privacy box then only Rotarians in your district, who have logged in, will be able to see some of your details. [Yellow]
- Notes Other information on the Club Members Only Area Club Members Only pages and Read District “Members Only” reports are pages that have been marked as Members only by their author. They can be accessed from here or by following a link from another webpage. If you are following a link from another web page and you have not already logged in you will be asked to log in before you see the report. A screen shot of the listing accessed from this page is on the next slide. Search and Print (Rotarians) is covered in depth in a later and in How To.
- Sorting by column makes it easier to find the document you want. Clicking for a second time reverses the sort.
- This option is available to the public and is the only one that can be used without logging in. It does not reveal the recipient’s email address When you are browsing the District 1150 website or the website of a club that uses RIBI-T, you will come across Rotarians’ Pictures with “Send Email” buttons alongside. Clicking on the button lets you send a message to that Rotarian. You must complete all of the boxes marked with an asterisk including the answer to the sum on the last line. The sum is there to help prevent computer generated responses. When you have entered your message text do not forget to click on the “send message” button.
- This screen will be available as the Membership extension is implemented. Note that the District shown is 1010 as 1150 is not yet implemented.You can restrict your searches to your own club.
- 9 Matches found If there are a lot of matches they are split over pages. Different information can be selected. The system can be used to create an A4 folded Club Handbook
- The tick boxes are only visible to District Officers and Club Administrators. They permit the selection of multiple recipients.
- Remember the cut and paste option. Weblinks are possible. Attachments too but more advanced option to be covered later.
- Select club secretaries to get all. Select club role and club to get the individual TIP If you type St Andrews in the Club box you will get all of the St Andrews Club and all of the St Andrews Kilrymont Club. To get St Andrews only type it inside quote marks “St Andrews”. To get St Andrews Kilrymont only type Kilrymont in the search box. The same applies to Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Kirkcaldy, Perth, Dunfermline and Keith (because of Inverkeithing!). TIP Not all of our District Officer roles are listed in this drop down list. If you cannot find the one you want then visit the Who’s Who Action Group on the District 1150 website. http ://www.rotary-ribi.org/districts/committee.asp?DistCtteeID=606&DistrictNo=1150
- There is a whole section of the District 1150 website dedicated to Help and How To. This section is specific to District 1150. Navigate to the District website either by entering the URL or by clicking on the link to District 1150 on your Club Home page Click on Help – using the website On the next page click on How To Alternatively you could have clicked on the link “Help & How To” from your Club Members Only Area. See slide 11.
- This page has a section/table for different audiences. Click on the group that best describes you. At this time it will be “For All Rotarians” You can access help in up to 3 different formats: As a web page. The How To - will be in Blue Ink and Underlined. Click on the writing. As a .pdf file which you may read online or print off. Click on the PDF icon. As a PowerPoint presentation that you may download. Click on the PowerPoint icon. Remember this page if you are stuck with How To do something in the future.
- Finally your Homework Please ensure that you can do all of the things on this list. This is your chance to ask if you are unsure about any of them. Particularly we would like you to log in and update your details. In future years checking of your details for the club handbook may be done by updating them on the website. It would be most useful if you were able to do that yourself.
