JICS Setup

Configuration settings in JICS can be done by roles with permission to access and administer global and portlet settings.

More Information for Administrators

If you are an administrator and need help in setting up and configuring this portlet, see the Configuration Guides on MyJenzabar.

Setting Global Portlet Operations

See the Setting Global Permissions to Portlets help topic for instructions on how to set up global operations for JICS portlets.

 

You must set both Global Operations and Portlet-Specific Settings for the Ethnicity and Race portlet in JICS. When you select check boxes for particular roles, the Setup menu will be available for persons with these roles. Typically, this permission would be given to the Student Administrator role; however, you can give access for the global settings to any role.

The Portlet-Specific Settings can be done by the Student Administrator and/or Advisor Administrator, depending on which role you want to do the setup. These settings will be applied to all instances (copies) of the portlet, regardless of the page on which the portlet is located.

3.        On the Edit Intro Text page, edit the Intro Text as appropriate. This text is displayed to students at your school. Changing the text here changes it in ALL instances of the portlet.
