All right.
And let me just hide my floating bars and put this.
Actually, you know what? I'll put this over here.
And if you have any questions
along the way, by all means, feel free to interrupt me.
I may or may not see the chat.
I know I've got support for the chat, but, you know, just feel free
to use your voice and speak out if you need, If you need my attention.
So just so you know, the,
and I'm sure you might have read this in Erika's emails, among other...
hearing about it from other locations, but the Pipeline portal is going away,
and we are expecting that to go away June 1st or June 2nd.
And what will happen is if you go to pipeline.sbcc.edu, you're
going to get redirected to this page here, which is the my.sbcc.edu.
As you can see here in the address bar.
With that said, before I go too far,
I know we have Pipeline email addresses.
Those are staying.
They're actually not connected to each other.
Pipeline and, MySBCC essentially
these web sites are link, or what I call, link farms.
And the link farms, what they will do is they just basically link
you out to every,
you know, it's a nice little location to link you out to different directions.
There are
two ways that are easy to get to my.sbcc.edu.
The first one is just in the URL bar here at the top left.
You can just type in my dot sbcc dot edu,
hit return or enter on your keyboard and that will land you on this page.
The other way to do that is go to our sbcc.edu website.
And like you would with Pipeline, if you entered Pipeline this way,
you go to the upper right hand corner where it says MySBCC.
Right there, you click on that and that again will open it
up in the new window or the new page here.
So let's get the lay of the land, shall we?
Let me just make sure I'm not missing anything that's really important
on my beginning notes.
One of the first things I want to let you know about
is that you can take, these are called widgets down here, you can take them,
and you can move them, usually,
move them around and reorder them.
Do know that you can customize this page so it suits your needs.
But the more that you customize a page, do you know that
if you contact us at the FRC or you contact the IT Helpdesk
and you're like,
I have this widget that does this, it's in my upper left hand corner.
It may not match what we or they
or somebody else sees because everybody can customize their widget.
So I do recommend that you, you know, customize.
But you know,
keep it as, as little as possible if you think you're going to need future
assistance until you really start to feel comfortable with this space.
As far as we know, there is no, “reset
to default” feature to, reset your page so that it is
as it came in when you first approach my.sbcc.edu,
I'm going to
talk about these cards here at the top.
As we can see here, we have, it
depending on your resources, sorry, your job position.
You may or may not see all the cards that I see,
but if you look at it, it says employee resources, faculty
resources, class registration, basically, this is for students,
and you think back to Pipeline, you might remember that on Pipeline
they had those little tabs for the the students, the staff, the faculty.
And so these are very, very similar to those tabs.
As they started to build this site, they did what they could to sort of mimic
the layout. Granted,
the tools are a little bit different, so it's not exactly a one for one.
Otherwise we wouldn't be doing this training, right?
But if you were like, I am a faculty person,
and what I used to do is I always used to go to the faculty tab,
then all you have to do is bring your cursor over this faculty block,
and then you can see you have these options with your, scroll on your mouse.
You can scroll and see all the various options that are listed there.
Same if you're a staff or an employee of any, any sort at Santa
Barbara City College, you can come here and that will link out to various areas.
Again, if you're, working to be a student, you would come in here, register
for classes, among others.
And do note that there is this arrow right here.
So if you click it, you can keep coming over and start seeing various, cards.
And again, you may not see all the cards that I have.
I happen to be involved in SBCC in various ways,
so I get to see a lot of different cards.
If you see only a couple. That's fine.
If you don't see the class registration one, that is because you haven't
been a student at Santa Barbara City College in the recent history.
Once you register for classes, that card will show up for you.
Any questions on these cards right off the bat?
I want to make sure I'm not leaving anybody behind.
Do you know if those are ever going to be, like,
customizable to remove because, right now,
for me, the problem I have is that it's just like a lot of clutter, right?
When you log in, which is a little overwhelming.
And I've taken classes for fun through the extended learning.
And so I have employee resources, class registration and schedule.
And then I have financial aid, cashier's office, academic support.
Like, I don't need any of that stuff.
And it's just really bulky and not user like.
The interface is just not great.
So is there ever going to be an option to just remove those
if they're like, it's relevant to me because I take a class for fun
at night, but it's kind of useless to me in the grand scheme of things.
I don't need to have the financial aid card, right?
No, I hear you, and same with me.
I don't get to see everything.
In fact, I can't even, like reorder them into the ones like
the ones that I use the most. Actually, they are where?
They're the ones I use the most.
Yeah, I can't I can't reorder them.
And to my knowledge, there is no way to, choose
which ones are going to show on an individual level.
It's just a matter of where your,
your activity is with Santa Barbara City College, so they'll show up for you.
They're ideally meant to be convenient, but I hear you.
I hear you.
Say, Rob mentioned
that we can, customize shortcuts on the left. Yes.
And yeah, we will get to that.
So you will be able to access these if that's going to help you.
And I will get to that bit right there. Okay.
Thank you. Yeah. Of course.
Any other questions?
Okay.
So while we've got the idea of these cards, keep in mind
if you were an employee and you needed to come down
and to pay and benefits, you can click on pay and benefits.
We can see that I am still in my.sbcc.edu.
Any page that is in my.sbcc.edu will be allowed to create a shortcut.
I'm just going to show you this right now, but I'll circle back to it.
So let's say like this is a page you I would go to frequently
if I wanted it to show up over here as a shortcut.
All I have to do is click on this star right here and we can see
my pay and benefits shows up down here.
If I decide later in my life that, you know what,
I just don't want this space to have that pay and benefits anymore,
all I have to do is come back to this page and I can click on class management,
go to pay and benefits.
I can easily just quickly shortcut to it.
Uncheck that and it will remove it from this list.
And I will come back to that.
But I want to make sure that you know about that.
Now as we're working, let's say that now, me
as the faculty, I need to get back to the dashboard.
All I have to do is come up here to the upper left hand corner and click
on Santa Barbara City College, and that will land me back on the to the dashboard.
So let's say it's the end of the semester and I need to work on class management.
I'm going to go ahead and click on that.
We can see that that is right here a shortcut that shows up right there.
And I have quick access to that.
But again this is very much laid out like we see inside a Pipeline.
These are eventually going to be updated.
They might get a little bit more graphic.
But right now we're slowly easing everybody
in to the new, MySBCC portal
so that you don't have to do so much searching around.
Once everybody starts getting comfortable with the way that it looks,
updates and, and, you know, time management, of course,
trying to get everything taken care of that's of a higher priority.
These pages might change so that they become more esthetically pleasing.
Also, while I'm here and I
want to go back to this dashboard, and please note that there
is this little arrow in the upper left hand corner that points left.
If I click on that, that will minimize this.
So I don't see as much on my desktop, but I can still click
on this little icon right here, the SBCC icon.
And that will again bring me back to my dashboard.
If I want to extend it, I just click on the arrow out and it extends it.
It's pretty intuitive.
But if you don't know that they're there, you might not know to click those things.
Hey Grace. Welcome.
It's good to see you and Lane.
Also good to see you.
All right.
Let's keep moving.
As we work down, you can see that we have widgets down here below the cards.
These are customizable.
As I said before, with your widgets, let's say that
I want to have my academic calendar take up more space.
I like this view, but I really want it to take up more space.
I can click on these three dots and I can choose to have it go
two cards wide or I can have it go three cards wide.
Or if I really wanted to see the calendar, I could go, you know, six cards total,
or I can come back to one card again.
It's just those three dots in the upper right hand corner.
I can click on those widget options, and then I can also
if I choose to remove that widget and it will remove it from my dashboard.
Keep in mind as you're first working with
the my.sbcc.edu,
we recommend that you might just get used to the feel and the move of it.
That way if somebody needs to help you, you will be easily able
to find those widgets.
Now let's say I accidentally removed it or I decide like, “Oh,
you know, what would be really good
is having that calendar come back.” Very, very easy to do.
All you have to do is come over here to find my new widgets, click this button
and we see that there are quite a few widgets that are available for us
right here.
So I want to bring back that calendar which I am looking for.
Here it is calendar.
Very simple.
I can go ahead and click on Add to dashboard.
We can also see here that these say remove from the dashboard.
So this is a quick and easy way.
If I want to just kind of shop for various widgets get rid of them.
I can add to the dashboard, add to the dashboard.
And let's say that I want to remove I can remove from the dashboard.
We can obviously see it's very easy, easy to do.
I'm going to add that back
and I'm going to add that back.
Okay.
The widgets are organizable.
So, Cici, you might enjoy this.
Not only can you change the size of them, but you can move them.
You can click on the top until you get that double or four-headed
arrow, move them around.
You will see that you will get
those little dots that show where you're going to place it.
And so you can organize your widgets that way
for those instructors that are in the course, this Canvas course
widget for me, as always, loaded very slowly.
So when I am on my.sbcc.edu,
I will actually come over here to my shortcut and I'll click on Canvas
and that will drop me into Canvas right there.
So just letting you know that that is available for you.
Any questions on widgets these, these bits right here that I've told you?
Are we going to
be able to make new widgets in the future?
Like who controls the widgets?
That is mostly done through.
Oh, hey, Rob, do you know who is taking care of this now that Mr.
Applebay is gone?
All right, so our main person who does this has left Santa Barbara City College.
Currently, I would say Hong is your best person
to ask for new changes because he's going to have access to those.
He is not our official person to take care of this.
But until, we figure out the repositioning of jobs,
he I'm going to say is he's probably your best.
Best?
Which are best?
Widget master is what I was going to say.
But he's your best person in case you you're like, I really have
this idea for a widget.
Is this possible at this time?
These are these are what we have.
Say, Rob just mentioned
that IT would help also.
Oh, IT would take would take a help request for that too.
Excellent.
Yeah, IT definitely can jump in here and help you with those.
You also have the option, if you want to,
you can create a folder with inside a widget.
So for example they used to show the K-number.
And so what people were doing was they were going to create a folder.
And then for example I'll enter the folder name.
There we go.
Delete me, my standard name.
And then I'm going to go ahead and click on save.
Now we can see that my widget has a folder.
And that information that I had highlighted goes into that folder.
If I click on that
it will open up the folder and we will see this bit of information.
Now that they've hidden that, hidden.
Excuse me, let me remove that.
I just, clicked on the three dots of the folder and said, remove the folder.
Now that they've had the K- numbers, people are not hiding as,
that information as much as possible.
But if you feel the need for whatever reason, to, hide
information inside a folder, but still keep it in a widget,
all you have to do is go to that widget, click those three dots,
click on create, and then work your way through there.
You know, if and again if you don't know, how to do things, just poke around.
Reach out to us at the FRC.
And we will be happy to help you
with poking around, to get this set up as you'd like.
All right.
Now I'm going to direct us over here to the left hand navigation panel.
As you can see, we do have that dashboard.
That is your dashboard link.
Or you can just click on this icon and it'll bring you back to your dashboard.
Grace has a question.
Oh, Grace, yes? Sorry.
I noticed in the widgets when you were looking
at all of them, there was one for Gmail.
Is that the email and Drive
can be displayed on your widget?
Yes. In fact, mine is down here.
Oh, okay. So that's it?
Yeah.
You can go down and you see upcoming events and groups and suggestions
if you like.
So you can see here, you can see your emails on this page.
It's. Yeah.
And it's just a viewer at this point.
So if I wanted to I could click on this link right
here, click on Open email and that will open up a new tab.
And then I'll be able to address that email. Okay.
And it says see all emails as well.
See all. Oh sorry.
Let me go back to emails so I can click on see all emails.
And that will also open up.
All right okay.
Thank you for pointing that out.
And again you have Drive.
You can see this is my Drive that we go through here and have it organized.
So you can
and again you can see all files and that will open up Drive for you okay.
So this is where I'm going to be operating from from now on.
Instead of the other...
Instead of Pipeline. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah.
It's as if you normally used, Pipeline to get, you know, navigate
through SBCC and everything that, you know, it had to offer.
You're now going to come here,
you're going to make it your own so that it works well for you.
Okay. Thank you.
Yeah. Of course.
Thanks for the question. Anybody else have a question?
Actually I do. Yeah?
I've been I've been in the MySBCC quite a bit and I saved it as a bookmark.
And I go in there so faculty resources
and I'll be trying to do some of the class management tasks.
And it's
been flipping me out sometimes so that I have to go through
reentering the portal with a new two step verification and all that.
Is that just a glitch in my system?
Somehow, or will that be warm?
Will that be, cleared up when you get rid of the Pipeline entry?
So there is a timer for the MySBCC,
which will, if you are not active in it for a and I'm
not sure exactly how long it is, it will log you out for a security reason.
That way if you leave your computer, somebody can't get into it
and then start navigating into your emails, among other things.
Right?
Is that's one thing.
And let's say you can see here that I'm still in my.sbcc.edu,
but I, for example, needed to work with drop rosters.
If I click on drop rosters, what that does is it brings me into Banner.
Banner is a separate engine or site
and it is not my.sbcc.edu.
So if I came in here and let's say I needed to drop students,
this is true for the employee tabs, among other things.
When you're brought out, my.sbcc.edu,
and you're working in here for a period of time,
you made time out of my.sbcc.edu due
to inactivity on the my.sbcc.edu site.
And again, that's just a security thing to keep people from being able to,
should you leave your computer, get into your accounts.
Okay. I was wondering about that.
I have gotten the message, session ended or whatever,
but I sometimes have to log in and do that two step
verification four times and a half hour.
So when you do this two step verification, let me just do something real quick.
Bounces me at me.
Go here, this is and I will bring this over here.
Let's see. I make sure this is going to work?
Okay.
So this is a different account.
When you go to log in.
Oops.
That's not going to work.
You. Oh that's interesting.
Normally there's, Rob or Karen.
Do you know when this disappeared?
Normally. About next screen.
Next screen login.
Yeah, it’s when you enter your 2FA.
When you're doing that.
Thank you.
This little box right here.
If it's your personal computer, do not,
click this box on public computers or in the library or anything like that.
When you click this box right here, and then you put in your 2FA information,
it will remember that you, you, when you log in on your personal computer,
do not have to put in the 2FA for 30 days.
Okay.
Great question.
Any other questions on this?
Can you say that again? Yeah.
So let's say that you're logging into SBCC like we did in the previous screen.
You hit enter and then you need to do the two factor authentication.
Right.
So you have to grab your phone or, or get your device to plug into your computer.
Let's say that you don't want to every time you log in
on your personal device, then you can click this little,
little box right here next to the green “Remember this device”
and it will remember your two factor authentication for 30 days.
You'll still have to log in like I did with my password, but I won't have to
do the two factor authentication for 30 days if this is checked.
Great.
Yeah.
Thanks for asking.
All right, so working our way over here,
there are various, areas that you can check out.
I am not going to go through every area because I know that you are quite capable
of clicking yourself, but do know that there is activity.
So you can see any activity that is going on or has been announced
or sorry.
And then we have announcements that have been announced.
We also have resources which will get built up over time.
I'm not going to go into Discovery.
Calendar and Events and Directory are here.
And then very shortly we should also have Emergency Services right here.
So that if you do have an emergency situation, you can just click on that
and you will be, landed on our SBCC Safety page,
so that if you need to contact somebody or figure out what to do,
you will have a page of information, and that is going to be right here.
These are not, removable, nor can you change their order
in which they view the as you see them is how they will sit.
Shortcuts, as we talked about earlier,
and I'm just going to go back to the the Home page here.
Shortcuts.
As we talked about earlier, you can again go to a page.
And let's just say I have class management.
So let's say that I want to go into resources.
Resources are within my.sbcc.edu.
All I have to do is click on that star in the upper right hand corner of the,
page. And that will show up down here.
Now, let's, pretend like I want the faculty resources.
I don't like it at the bottom.
I would really like it closer to the top.
All I have to do is click on edit.
There are three horizontal lines to the left of the title.
I click, I hold my mouse down, and I can reorder these
so that they are in an order that I like.
If I decide that I don't need to see any of these resources,
I can either go to that page and unclick the star and it will disappear.
Or if I'm still in the edit menu, I can just click on this trashcan
and that will, un-star it on that page.
I can go ahead and click on done.
And we can see here that that is nice and cleaned up to what it is that I use.
And to be honest with you, I am an instructor
also, I am coming towards the end of this semester.
So one of the things that I do is I make sure that I go back
and I have class management and I star that class management
because I'm there, because I have to add positive attendance, possibly.
Or I’m doing my SLOs or grades.
I'm going to visit this page several times at the end of the semester,
so I'll have it over here temporarily at the end of my semester,
and then I just get rid of it
when I don't need it because I want to try and keep it as clean as possible.
We do have tools over here
that you, again, can take a look and go through, everyday tools.
You can see that there is Campus Safety right here.
As we said before, this Campus Safety, which is running,
to Pipeline, it's actually going to go to a different page.
So that will be updated, that Campus Safety will show up down here.
And it will be set there for your convenience.
Also student tools, employee tools, among other things.
Again, like we had before, we can click on view all.
Sorry, not like we have before, but as we can see here, there are three dots.
We can click on the view all and you'll be able to see it as a larger feature.
You can click the little triangles and be able to see more.
We have pages over here also, which I won't go into,
but those are available along with all the way down the bottom.
We have clubs and groups and again you can view all
and if there are announcements you can mark everything as read.
Any questions on that left hand navigation?
Pretty basic.
All right.
The last bit that I want to talk to you about, we're getting near
the end of it is up here in the upper right hand corner.
As you can see I have a notification.
I also have a message from someone
and a notification is usually sent out to groups.
All I have to do is click on this.
And the top one which was sent out 15 days ago.
And being that this is our last training, I can now click on this
so that I have that little marker.
That marker will go away.
I can click on the notification and I can see it nice and big.
Hyperlinks do work within this site, so you can click on any of the hyperlinks
that are available to you should you want to learn more information.
And then I also have a message right here and we can see that,
Rob has sent
me a month ago, sent me a, a message.
And this is we realize that this text
right here, the contrast between the dark and the darker
text, is not a high contrast ratio.
We are working to get this changed so that it is more
easily read if it's very difficult and you really need to see.
Fortunately, it's what I wrote, so I have an idea of what I wrote,
but if you really need to see it, you can click, hold and drag
and you'll get a tiny bit higher contrast on the text.
If you are having difficulties reading the hello
and reply and among other things.
To message someone
or to reply to the message, it's just like you
would any other chat message,
you type it down there if you want to add additional information.
For example, if I want to attach an image or a file, I can do so nice and easily.
And then I'm going to go ahead and hit that little airplane button right there.
Now Rob on his MySBCC
has one message for me from me in the upper right hand corner.
If I want to go to messages,
we can see that I can create a new chat.
And, I can just start typing in somebody's name.
And then if it's, for example, let's say, E.
Shelly Cole is who I want to type to and I can add additional emails
or, chat messages.
And so I can add more people.
And so this is now a group chat.
And then all you have to do again is just type your chat message and then hit send.
Being that these people don't know who I am, I'm not going to chat them up.
But it is very easy to, start, chatting messages.
And again, you can get to it easily by coming here,
maybe clicking on See all and then create the new chat.
Questions on chat or notifications?
So for chat and notifications is this connected at all to Gmail.
Like would we get an email or something that we got like,
and there's two separate systems in there.
They are two separate systems.
But I'm going to show you a bit on notifications.
And some of them, you can actually get a heads up on your Gmail account
that something is available for you on your my SBCC.
So thanks for that segue.
We're going we're going to get down I'm not going to go just jump straight to it.
But I'm going to work my way down it.
Oh no no no that's that's a great it's a great great question because I
it for me to think about I have to check one more place
to make sure I'm getting everybody
that's trying to reach out to me is a little bit of like a little heart
palpitations.
I messaged you as well, Say, so you should have the notification in
your email.
Okay.
Thank you.
In my email
put the gmail. Yeah. Just to show you.
Just to show what it looks like.
And you message me in chat here or you message me in.
So when I message you in, in MySBCC, do you have your notifications
turned on to send to your email or do you turn that off?
You know, I want to go have to take a look at it.
Because of these and because of our trains and the trains
on which I've been training so much, turning things on and off.
And now that we're on our last one for a bit, I'm going to have to reset MySBCC.
So we'll take a look at that.
But yeah, but definitely it will pop up over there.
Okay.
So we're going to start in the upper right hand corner.
There's either a if you have a picture icon
and I'm just going to click on view profile. Yeah.
View profile I have replaced what probably it said
SDD or something like here I don't honestly remember.
But if I want to change this, all I have to do is click on edit Profile.
And I know it's really hard to see
because it's white on white, but it says “update image” right here.
So if I click on update image I can search inside my computer for an image.
I will click on that image.
And then I will click open.
And what will happen is it will upload that image.
So the circular into that little space right there.
If I want to change this and this is called the cover image is back
here, I happen to have Yosemite showing showing right there all out
same exact thing.
I just click on change cover.
I go searching in my email, find something you know,
I don't know where I have images.
Click on an image in here, then go ahead and click on Open
and that will be my current cover image.
I don't have a lot of control on where the height is,
and I know that because I would really prefer to show the top
of this, falls right here versus just having it cropped off.
But you know what? I'm cool with it.
You can choose to show your pronouns.
You'll have to assign your pronouns on a different page.
You are also welcome to tell a little bit about yourself, your education.
Obviously, you're going to work your way down.
I am not going to read everything to you.
Once you've made updates here, then make sure you do come all the way
down the bottom on the right hand side and click on Save Changes.
Of course, I did not make any changes, so there's nothing for me to save.
But make sure
if you're making changes that you do work your way down and save changes.
If you can never remember, is this a page I save changes or not save changes.
Just always go to.
If it's not at the top, go to the bottom, take a quick look and you will know.
Questions on updating your just.
This is just your profile.
Some basic information.
All right.
my connections, if you want to connect to various people,
you can go in and connect to those people.
You let me see. That's it.
This about will tell you, information about yourself,
your education, your towns, all of that good stuff.
And again, your connections are right here.
You can also, look at suggestions and choose who it is,
that you might want to connect with.
We can see that I've sent out, connection
requests to six other people and they have not responded.
Whether they choose not to or, they just don't know about it is another thing.
I'm not going to embarrass anybody by clicking on those,
but you can, go ahead and send out connection requests.
The connections
won't be made until both parties agree that you're going to be connected.
And when you are connected.
So we have these connections.
You can see that I can easily come in and message Karen, if I want to.
So again, we're back here in messages like we were working on before.
Account settings.
In account settings, you can choose whether you want,
hit enter to send a message.
For me, I find that I like to type long paragraphs, apparently,
and every time I hit Enter it sends it.
My thought isn't finished, so I don't do that.
But if that is something that you do like, you can turn that on.
You can also, let the other people know that you've read
whatever they've sent you by sending a, read receipt or read receipt.
Of course, you can choose your skin tone if, let's say you're having
to go somewhere and work remotely for a different period of time,
that's in a different time zone, you, obviously, can choose,
time zones all over the world,
and then accessibility, you can,
turn your accessibility options on or off
just by toggling these as you would like.
And then if you, we had talked previously about two factor authentication,
if you need to go in and reset or change
or update your two factor identification in any way.
Again, where I went to get to this page is this is account settings.
This is the page we're on right now.
Go all the way to the bottom.
Click on Open Security.
We can see that we are outside of the my.sbcc.edu.
And then if I need to, I can register a new email address
or register a different phone number, among other things.
I'm not going to go into how to do 2FA, but if you need help
with to setting anything up, please do reach out to us.
We will be happy to help you with that.
We know it's not so user intuitive at times.
There's some, frequently asked questions.
I don't believe you all will have admin center, so I'm going to move on
if you need to log out of the my.sbcc.edu, let's say
you're using this at the library or the LRC or some other lab,
and you want to make sure nobody can get in,
get into your Google Drive, get into your email, among other things.
Again, that's just clicking on your icon
in the upper right hand corner and then choosing to log out.
While I'm here, you also have the option
of changing your view to be light mode or dark mode.
I'm going to go to MySBCC.
You can see that is the dark mode.
And then I will whoops. Sorry.
This is the dark mode.
This is the light mode.
Depends on what it is that you like.
Or if you choose auto that is set to what your computer is set to.
So if your computer is set to light mode and then at 6:00 at night,
you have it set to go to, dark mode because you want less eyestrain at night,
it will automatically update MySBCC based on what your computer is set at.
Alejandra, did you have a question?
I saw your camera turned on.
I just want to make sure I wasn't going to miss you.
Any questions on this bit?
Right here? I'm good, thank you.
Okay, good.
Any questions so far?
I'm going to return notifications.
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to return to the admin center because I.
Whoops, sorry.
I go back to the right one though.
Account settings.
Notice that up here
on the account again I'm an account settings.
We have three tabs here at the top.
We have our privacy.
You are welcome to come through here and choose who can see
whichever information is available to you or that you want to share with them.
But more importantly, this is where we're going into
if I get a notification here in MySBCC,
will I get an email or a push notification?
And the push notification goes to your personal device,
your, phone or your tablet.
Or if you just get notifications that will show up here.
So as you can see here, you can choose
whether you just want to get one single email once a day,
or if you want to get them as soon as they come in.
And then once you have that set, then you,
go to each area post and comments.
When a group admin post to a group you follow,
I would like to get a notification that's here within my.sbcc.edu.
I would also like it to push to the device.
I downloaded the app on my phone,
and I would also like to see an email.
And then you work your way down the list setting everything that you want.
If somebody reacts to something you said,
you know, how do you want to hear about it?
Or do you want to hear about it?
If you don't care, don't check any of those boxes.
If you're mentioned anywhere, by all means do that.
Same with your groups events.
You know, admin automatically joins you to an event. Yes.
I want to know if I'm being voluntold to be somewhere at some time, right?
So give me all the notifications and then messages.
When you're away, you receive and you email notifications, push an email.
So I should have in my Gmail account.
Let me just hold down my command or control key.
So this opens up a new, key.
And Rob Brown.
Here it is. There's what he messaged me.
And so it did come in to my email.
So I'm going to go ahead and view right there.
And we can see that this is sample message.
And we can see that he's sent that.
And it was forwarded to my Gmail account.
So I don't have to keep coming into MySBCC
to check to see if this has any notification settings.
One less place that I have to check, connections again.
Pages.
When a new page is added, it's up to you.
Tools the account settings.
I'm looking at the panel on the left, but I don't see anything highlighted.
It's not on the left, it's in the upper right hand corner.
I have a photo of my, a little drawing.
And, so you click on that little
and it might be letters if you haven't set that an image up there.
So you just click on that little circle in the upper right
hand corner and then come down to account settings.
Fine. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks for asking.
Anyone else?
Do you know what the preference is for the college right now?
Because I know I use Google Chat just because that's what we had before this.
Yeah.
Is there going to be, like, strong, like push to use this chat
feature more over Google chat or even now we also have Zoom chat.
Yeah, I know it's too much, right?
A little too much for me.
I can answer that for at least for now.
No. This is a it's more of a feature in there.
The one place I can say that this is being,
kind of pushed on is the clubs.
If you notice that you're not getting
really club notifications in your email anymore, this semester.
So they've forced all the clubs to create groups
in here and use the group chat inside of this,
as opposed to using the email platform for for things like clubs.
So for those types of things at the college,
they'll encourage you to do this direction.
But no, there's not going to be any like push to be like
you have to use the chat in here and no more Google Chat.
That's that's not going to happen.
Cool, thank you.
And if you're interested in joining clubs you do go to groups.
Click on that groups right here where you can see that I have joined
these groups.
It's just a matter of just clicking on join group.
If it's a group that wants to, control, who is, allowed in the group,
then you will have to wait for them to approve you.
Otherwise, for example, study abroad.
I can just click on join Group.
And now I've got a join group study abroad.
We can see there's a little checkmark right there. Yeah.
So that was my other question.
How do we request for group to get created?
Because I thought that would be a good thing for a classified staff
to have for CSEA But there's not one on here.
So where does how does how does the what's yeah.
When you send an email to Amy Collins.
Okay. Yeah.
And she is the one that has the ability to build the groups.
Okay.
So for now, groups, the priority is just for clubs.
And so that's the...
I'm sure she'll make you a CSEA group.
Yeah. No I'm sure. Yeah. Exactly.
It's just what they, they had to practice and build on something.
So they took all clubs and they put them in here.
But this is I mean this is malleable.
You can change and shape it as needed.
And I know Amy will make a group for you.
Okay. Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Anybody else?
So I know it feels like.
Or maybe it feels like I threw a lot at you.
It's it's really not. It's not.
You just get in here, start poking around, see what happens.
If you need help, reach out to us here at,
FRC-Group@pipeline.sbcc.edu, and we'll be happy to help you.
Cindy?
Yes. I was poking around
and on, resource employee support.
It takes you to the IT page, which you can
will take you to the portal.
How can we get that
for Fiscal Services too?
So they know that Fiscal Services has a portal?
I would create an IT Helpdesk ticket
and let them know what you want created.
Okay. Because.
Right now we're having to tell people go to help.sbcc.edu
and pick Physical Services.
Yeah, I reach out to IT
I'm not who the person is that's filling in for that position.
So otherwise I direct you to to Mr.
Applebay, but just create a little ticket and they'll get it to the right person.
Okay?
Yeah.
So this is just the start of it.
Plan for it to change.
Plan for it to become more robust.
Right? This is ground floor breaking.
You know, getting getting our feet wet with it,
trying to figure out what's going to work and, how to make it work
best as you have comments, you know, let people know
and we'll see what we can do about making it even better than it is.
Any other questions?
Hi Grace.
So eventually the stuff that you click on that links
to Pipeline like that all in a month, that's just going to go to a dead end?
If if information isn't added into the...
It will get redirected back to my.sbcc.edu in some way.
Okay.
And if it breaks, create an IT ticket and let him know it's broken.
Yeah, and I know Hong has been working really hard to scour the website
in general to correct any SBCC
links or Pipeline links or references to Pipeline.
But if you have your own areas or your own documentation looking at that,
not you specifically, Cindy, but Fiscal Services, all the documentation they have.
This refers to Pipeline. There is no Pipeline anymore.
It's got to be re-edited to go to my.sbcc.edu.
And definitely if you're
looking at,
you know, let's say the sbcc.edu website and you find reference to Pipeline
and it's in somebody's department, give them a heads up.
You know, like, “Hey, just so you know, this web page, points to Pipeline.
We now need to redirect it to my.sbcc.edu.” They'll have somebody,
in their department that can either update that page
or they can reach out to Hong, and Hong can update it,
but he is really trying very hard to find it all.
But you know, we've had Pipeline.
We Pipeline should have been gone like nine years ago.
And that's when it was beyond its best by date nine years ago.
And so we've had it well before then.
And so it's really sprinkled everywhere in our material.
And so it's good, you know, help, you know, help help each other out by
like when we see it. Let's just keep updating.
Oh, Say,
I have, yeah, kind of a mundane question.
It goes back to the cover image. Yeah.
Do you think that it's advisable that we find a photo
if we really like something artistic, that we find something
that has a rather horizontal aspect to it, like yours does?
Or does the program know to extract out
whatever image is needed to fill the horizontal area?
If you have a vertical image,
it will grab the center of it
and show just that center bit.
And if it's a very small photo, it will stretch and pixilate it.
So you'll want it to be not a thumbnail, right?
Unless you like that look.
What do you think it would do with this?
It's by zoom, you know,
one of 400 zoom backdrops that I have mostly art and architecture.
Yeah, I want this one transfer.
Look at the center of that and tagged,
of that background and take like,
I would say 30% of it from center.
So you'll have like a 30 or 30, 30. Okay.
That's my best guess for.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I think
Anybody else?
Yeah.
All right.
Somebody has a question in the chat. Oh.
Well, Pipeline application be eliminated
when we roll over our canvas classes each semester.
The Pipeline,
pipeline.sbcc.edu, will automatically send people
if somebody types that in, will automatically send them to this site.
So I'm not sure other than that what you're asking, Lane
that my question was will it will it happen automatically
or we won't have to prompt it somehow to do it?
Yeah, it will automatically forward you to the site
to misspeak to you.
Sorry. Okay.
And when does this actually go into I mean, it's in effect
now, but when is the the big push going to happen for the fall?
Not June 1st and first. Okay.
A month. Yeah, less than a month.
30th.
And I think when, just to be clear to the
there's nothing in canvas that is specific to Pipeline.
Your email address isn't changing.
So if you got your email address linked
or anything like that as Pipeline, that's not going to change at all.
In canvas or anywhere else in your syllabus,
if you're telling students to go to Pipeline for some things like that,
you'll need to change that on your own.
If, by the way,
if you're not sure how often, you say Pipeline in your canvas.
Course we have a canvas.
I'm sorry, a Chrome extension that will help you search,
Canvas for any mention of pipelines.sbcc.edu.
Also, there is a search feature you can turn on and just reach out
to us at the FRC, and we'll be happy to help you with with both.
Either one of those.
And anybody else?
Okay.
I didn't think it was going to take this long,
but apparently I'm a nice slow talker today, so enjoy the rest of your day
and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate.
Reach out to us. We'd rather
have you work smoothly and efficiently, and we'll be happy to help you.
Thank you.
Say thank you, thank you.
Say you're welcome.
And what need more?
Thank you. Say
I'm. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Can I ask one more question?
Yes, absolutely.
So I love my Google calendar and I live off of it.
If I wanted to think just making a widget for it,
because I think the current calendars just
the SBCC one,
how would I. That's so true.
That's so true. I agree with that too.
I love my Google calendar.
Ooh, I didn't even think of that.
Because we just have the academic calendar now available.
But I yeah.
To Yeah.
The only way I've been able to go into it, just so you know, is I've gone in there
and gone into my emails and then from my email, gone to the,
you know, to the, to the whatever it's called, the watchfully
looking thing and gone into the drive and found that way.
Yeah.
I personally, just so I don't know if this will help you,
I just always have my Google calendar available.
It's up here in my upper left hand corner.
I have these little tabs.
And what you can do is called pinning.
So let me hide this bar for you.
Hide under control bar.
And so this is my Google calendar, which I live by also.
And all I have to do is right click on it and then say pin.
It makes it smaller. And then I click it over here.
So this is my Gmail which is always available on my calendar.
These are a couple Excel or sorry sheets that I have.
These are a couple notes pages that I have my Google Google voice.
Anything that I use frequently, I just right click on it
and then I choose to pin it and that will pin it right there.
And then I can also choose to unpin it.
You have to unpin it to be able to delete it
or close the tab.
Oh nice nice nice.
Last final.
One more question.
Gosh. Yeah. All right.
There are also just so you know, you can also create groups.
So look at all these courses too.
Like these are the trainings that I want to still get to that were opened up.
But I don't want them to take up that much space.
So I made a group so I can what was let me see here.
I'm going to right click here.
Come on.
Oh, darn it, I think I just pinned that.
Let me choose, word Clippy.
Go here, let me see this real quick.
History
and we'll just do this one. There we go.
I can right click here and then I can choose to add tab to a group.
So these are the groups that I have already created.
Or I can create a new group.
So you can see that again I don't want to have all these tabs.
I don't want to lose them for whatever reason.
I don't feel like I need to bookmark them,
but I'm hoping that one day I'll come through
and I'll complete all these courses that I have signed up for.
Same with.
I teach photography classes.
So this is my photos.
So apparently it's just my textbook idea right now.
And then potential.
So are you can also do things like that if that helps you organize.
Do you have a training on this? This is awesome. I'm sorry.
I have like a thousand times.
Yeah.
Well, maybe it's time we do another, chrome training.
Yeah. Take a look.
I have my I have mine set up.
So when I launch Chrome, it
automatically opens my SBCC and my calendar and my email.
So, like, I close it completely, just open.
So that was once I used to have that set to my home.
Because that's the only way I know how to do it.
And it always would like fail and I don't know.
So yeah, if you offer training I would love that.
And I would attend do the ethically.
So that'd be yeah in Chrome itself as well.
You can when you open up a new tab,
go and open up a new tab, say just a new blank tab.
There's icons across the bottom right there
and right in the center down below the bar.
Yeah. Those you can set those to whatever you want.
So you
can you only have so many of them, however many there are like nine of them.
But you can make those to your like to your calendar, like say has there.
And whatever you want to do.
Wow. Okay.
There's all kinds of ways that you can use Chrome that no one really uses.
So Chrome training needs to happen.
Yeah, I don't think we did.
We didn't do in this year.
But we've done them in the past quite a lot.
So we can do it again.
Yeah.
Well I'm busy pinning all the things that I come in
every morning and open up in the order I opened.
Yeah, it's it's nice.
Keep in mind that, this doesn't mean that there are, always going to be here.
So if if I close this window like this
and I'm going to go ahead and click on leave.
Oops. There we go.
And I don't open it again.
And I create a new Chrome tab which is showed up on my other monitor.
They are not there any longer.
Now I'm not panicked because I know I just did this.
I can click on these three dots, go to history
and notice it says 63 tabs right here.
And I say Restore window and it will open up everything that was there before.
So the
history is really great, but it is not permanent.
Right. It doesn't.
Remember every time that I've had, for example,
I have, I have this chrome window open and I have this chrome window open.
Right.
And it will only remember these for
during this a short period of time in my history.
But if you accidentally close like my 63 tabs here, don't panic.
Three dots right there.
Go to history.
And then because I haven't closed anything here, I'll just close this.
Three dots go to history
and you will see four tabs and then restore window.
So if you accidentally closed one of your your chrome windows,
which I have done more than once,
obviously clearly I have lots of tabs open.
You can get those back, but it's not a permanent fix.
It's a very, very short window.
As you start looking at other things, those get cleared out.
But yes, any tip?
I love pinning paintings.
Great.
Any other questions about anything?
All right.
No, it's all good. It's good.
All right.
Well, I've kept you three minutes past the hour.
Thank you so much for your time and your patience again.
I can't stress enough. Don't don't struggle.
Just reach out to us.
If we don't know, we know people who do know.
And we're happy to reach out to them for you.
Okay. Thank you, thank you. Yeah.
Welcome. Bye.
