Adding Contributors

The Manage Users screen has two areas. In the upper part of the screen you find departmental administrator lists. In the lower part of the screen is a list of all topics within the selected department. Each topic has a link that shows the contributors defined for the item. At the top of the topic list is also a Show All link that expands all topics.

Topic Name

The first column lists all topics within the selected department by topic order.

Show/Hide

The second column displays a link that allows you to show or hide the contributor list. Click the Show link to add new contributors. When no contributors are defined, the list is replaced by a message stating that fact.

Show All

Click this link for a quick overview of all contributors. Please note that in this context you cannot add new contributors.

Add contributor

When you click the Show link for any topic, you will see a list of contributors and a text box that allows you to add new contributors. Enter the BU login into the text box. The text field is case insensitive. After clicking the Add Contributor button, the FAQ system will validate the BU login. If the BU login is valid and if the name is not already in the departmental administrator or contributor lists, it will be added to the list. The new contributor has instant access to the Question form to add questions.

Remove contributor

Remove a name by clicking the Remove link next to their name. This takes effect immediately. If you remove a name by mistake you can add it again. Be careful not to remove yourself from the list. After you remove yourself you will not have the necessary privileges to access the selected department. You'll need to have an administrator add you back. All entries in the list are unique; the system prevents double entries.
