Voting & Completion
Assign Student Leader
Should a submission surpass the voting threshold, it will appear in the Assign Student Leader section of the SUggestions module. Within this category, Sabbatical Officers are able to review the submission and its content.
To assign a Sabbatical Officer to the proposal, select modify, assign the relevant Sabbatical Officer and then click on the ‘Submit’ button.
Once assigned, the SUggestion will be visible under the "Working on" tab on the website.
Note: A setting is available within System Configuration to select the department of staff members to which you wish to assign Suggestions. These departments must be created by SUMS, and the relevant staff members assined to these departments within the HR module.
If you require these departments to be created/modified, please get in touch with the SUMS team at [email protected].
On Hold
Within the Assign Student Leader section, you are able to put the suggestion on hold. This will move the idea to "On Hold" within SUMS and the "Future" tab on the website.
In the future, SUggestions can be reviewed and re-opened via the ’Re-open’ button; a Sabbatical Officer may then be assigned to the submission.
Re-Assign Student Leader
Should an SUggestion be assigned to the wrong Sabbatical Officer or the previous Sabbatical Officer leaves post, then you have the option to re-assign the submission within this sub-category.
Not Supported
If a SUggestion does not receive enough votes, it shall be moved into the “Not supported” section of the website.
Feedback
For any SUggestion on the website that has been voted on, a Sabbatical Officer can add their comments into the Feedback section of SUMS. To do so, click on the Modify button and then add your feedback into the text box before clicking on Submit. This feedback will then appear within the Student Leader feedback section underneath the SUggestion on the website.
Completion
When a Sabbatical Officer wants to mark their assigned SUggestion as complete, they can do so via the Completion subsection where they can use the Mark as Completed button. It is recommend that the Sabbatical Officer submit their final piece of feedback prior to this.
Alternatively, the SUggestion can also be moved into the “On-hold” section if necessary.
Comment Moderation
If a student comments on a SUggestion and it is deemed offensive or inappropriate, any other student can select the report flag.
If the comment receives 2 or more flags, it will appear in Comment Moderation section within SUMS. A member of staff can then review the comment and decide if it is valid or not. If not, the comment can be removed and will no longer appear on the website. If valid, the comment will remain visible.
