Access Control

This site is organised with different levels of access control. Ordinary users will be able to see all public pages and comment on them. They are restricted from editing these pages, and certain sections of the site are restricted to members of the project. If you try and access a page for which you don't have permission to view, you will receive a message telling you that you do not have the relevant rights to access that page. If there is a page or section to which you think you should have access but can't get to, please contact the administrator at support@caast-net.org.

Adding comments

NB! This feature is only available to you after you have registered.

You can comment on the page you are viewing, to offer feedback, additional information or an expression of your opinion. To see the list of previous comments, click on the Comments button at the bottom of the screen.

Underneath these comments, you will see the Add comment button. Clicking on this will cause a text box to appear. Type your comment into the box. When you are happy with it, simply click on Add comment beneath the text to add your comment to the page.

Watching Pages and Managing Your Watchlist

NB! This feature is only available to you after you have registered.

It is possible to keep track of the changes to certain pages, so that you are notified when the page is edited or documents are attached. This is done through your Watchlist.

Your Watchlist is a collection of pages that you have chosen to receive updates on. To add an item to your Watchlist, move your mouse pointer to the Watch menu at the top of the screen.

From the menu that appears, click on Watch this page to add that specific page to your list. Click on Watch whole space to add the entire space (i.e. the Work Package you are viewing) to your Watchlist.

There are two ways you can choose to receive updates on the items from your Watchlist: either via email notification or an RSS feed. To manage these update methods, move your mouse back to the Watch menu, then click on Manage your watchlist from the menu that appears.

This will take you to page with headings for both email notifications and RSS feeds. Under email notifications, set how regularly you would like to be sent emails notifying you of any changes to the items in your Watchlist (although do note that if no changes have been made then you will not be sent an email).

Under RSS feeds, you will see a link the will provide you with the RSS feed for your Watchlist. This will allow you to receive real time updates on changes in your Watchlist from certain programs (such as an email program). The procedure for using your RSS feed varies from programme to programme: please consult the help for the specific application you plan to use.

In addition to your personal Watchlist, the What's New page will allow you to view a list of all the pages throughout the site which have been recently edited or created. You can access the What's New page by clicking on the heading found in the menu on the right of your screen.
