Be sure to read the brief section on Getting Started with this Center -- ITSSC

The IT Services and Support Center (ITSSC) has been established to provide a centralized location for self-serve help through the use of an active knowledge base featuring commonly requested content and documentation of known issues, as well as an online ticketing system to submit a request for IT assistance. This system will improve our efficiency, communication and collaboration to provide an improved support experience resolving your IT inquires.

Forging Friendships Online. Most clubs have moved to online services such as Discord, Slack, and WebEx Teams. These online platforms have “helped to maintain a community feeling and facilitate discussion between E-Board members and the general populace of the club. Along with cultivating a culture for people to feel involved in” says GZ Basement president Leland Liu ’21. Directory of MultiMedia Services.

As of November 2018, ITSSC now encompasses all the DotCIO departments resulting in a much easier and less confusing path to request IT assistance in a centralized location. We anticipate ITSSC will improve staff efficiency, communication and collaboration among our teams providing an improved support experience for the entire campus community. The knowledge base is a work in progress with a goal to develop a robust, mature source of information for all of our IT services and support.

Once you click on Get Help - Click to Enter ITSSC -- in the upper right hand corner sign in with your RCS credentials (if known); Click Submit a Request; select an IT category which corresponds to DotCIO department teams and resume completing the form. Please read theGetting Started with this Center article to have a better understanding of the different IT categories. When in doubt select Support Request.

Webex New Features

The 60,000-foot view of Webex Teams

When a user signs in to Webex Teams they create a “Team”. Team members can be anyone with an email address, from on campus or off. Examples might include all the members of a research project or the students in a particular course.

Once the “Team” is together you need to create a “Space” to work in. This is where you access the available tools, i.e. videoconferencing, messaging, file sharing and whiteboarding. The system comes with a “General Space” to start, and you may never need another. However, Webex Teams provides the ability to create as many other spaces as you want.

Rpi Webex Meetings

Using the example of a “Team” with the students in a course, each “Space” you create could be a class, this way you track each class by itself. Or you could create one “Space” for course work, one for lab’s and maybe another for special project(s).

The big take way here is that any of the tools used, less videoconferencing, are automatically tracked. So, the notes taken during a Meeting, any Whiteboards worked on, any Files Shared, or Messages sent, are embedded in the “Space” you created.

Come back 3 weeks or 3 years later, and it’s all still there.

Special note about videoconferencing, it’s not automatically tracked, but you can record any session by pressing the “Record” button.

It also allows you to add a Webex meeting directly in Microsoft Outlook. The Windows version also supports integrations with other applications, such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Microsoft Skype for Business, Microsoft Lync, Internet Explorer, IBM Lotus Notes, and so on. The Webex Meetings desktop app can also automatically detect nearby video devices, so you can share the desktop on a video device or automatically call it when joining a meeting.

*note - the desktop application provides limited functionality but is great for spur of the moment meetings/conferences
