Resources

You can upload documents and add URL's for all Student Groups to be able to access via the ‘Resources’ section found within the Committee Management area of the Student Dashboard.

Categories

Begin by creating your resource categories to organise your documents:

  1. Select ‘Resources’ within the ‘Activities/Groups’ module;

  2. Click ‘Categories’ at the top of the table;

  3. Select ‘Create Category’ and enter a name;

  4. Mark if you want the category to be ‘Active’ (visible) on the Student Dashboard.

You can add, remove and modify categories at any time. Making a category inactive will hide the category name and any documents within from the Student Dashboard. These will reappear again if the category is marked as ‘Active’ later down the line.

Please note: If you delete a category that has resources assigned to it, this will also remove the resources. These will require creation again via the SUMS platform to re-upload to the Student Dashboard and assign them to an alternative category.

Uploading Resources

You can upload documents/URL's via the initial resources page, or by selecting the green ‘Resources’ button alongside the relevant category:

  1. Select ‘Create Resource’ and enter:

    1. Document Title;

    2. Document URL (if you wish a URL to be displayed as opposed to uploading a document, such as a link to your SU Governance web page);

    3. Mark if you want the document/URL to be visible;

    4. Upload a document by browsing your files, or dragging and dropping the file (a list of accepted file types is included on this page for reference; files up to 5MB can be uploaded);

  2. Click ‘Submit’ to save and upload the resource.

You can add, remove and modify resources at any time. Making a document/URL inactive will hide it from the Student Dashboard. This will reappear again if the resource is marked as ‘Visible’ later down the line.

You will be able to keep track of your visible resources and when they were last updated on the main ‘Resources’ page, where you will be able to view the:

  1. System ID;

  2. Title of the resource;

  3. Creation date and time;

  4. Date and time the resource was last updated (any modification including a title change, change to visibility or upload of an updated document);

  5. Whether the resource is currently active (visible).
