]]> Feedback 00240041068876a7f010acd497c48007b0f Fall 2006 Updatehttp://myucfnews.ucf.edu/myUCF/myUCFNews/viewNews.jsp?newsId=0024004105bd60439010c0c76ce2f004da3 On October 26 through November 1, 2006, changes are being made within myUCF to provide expanded functionality and improve the user interface, as well as update the look and feel.

 

The term 'Polaris' will no longer be used.  Instead, all self-service functionality will be contained within the myUCF navigation. The area in myUCF previously named 'Polaris Fac/Advis Self Service' will be "Faculty/Advisor Self Service."  In addition, "Polaris Employee Self Service" will be "Employee Self Service" and "Polaris Student Self Service" will be "Student Self Service."  Also, the " Student Center" area will be added to provide a convenient, one-stop location for common student tasks.

 

Along with the new look and feel, new myUCF functionality will also be available.  This includes a myUCF 'search' and 'My Links' feature.   The search allows users to find various resources contained inside the portal by keyword, in addition to browsing through the menus.  My Links allows users to add any page inside of myUCF to their own list of links.  Web pages outside of myUCF can also be added, and all links can be organized into folders as desired.  Both the search and My Links will appear in the myUCF header and follow users throughout the site for ease of navigation. 

 

Another addition to myUCF is a new pagelet called 'myUCF news.'  This pagelet replaces the "Portal News" pagelet, which was available after logging into the system.  It will appear on the login page of the portal, and serves to help keep all users informed of myUCF maintenance updates and future plans.  In addition, it spotlights portal functionality that users may not be aware of and provides a mechanism for users to send in feedback for consideration of future portal enhancements.

 

With this new version of myUCF, all other functionality that was in the previous myUCF version will stay intact.
